商品描述

This book gathers the latest insights into soil health and its sustainability, providing an up-to-date overview of the various aspects of soil quality and fertility management, e.g., plant-microbe interactions to maintain soil health; and the use of algal, fungal and bacterial fertilizers and earthworms for sustainable soil health and agricultural production.

It first discusses the past, present, and future scenarios of soil health, and then explores factors influencing soil health, as well as the consequences of degradation of soil health for sustainable agriculture. Lastly it highlights solutions to improve and maintain soil health so as to achieve greater productivity and sustainability without damaging the soil system or the environment.

Soil health is defined as the capacity of a soil to function within ecosystem frontiers, to sustain biological productivity, to maintain environmental quality and to promote plant, animal and human health. Soil health is established through the interactions of physical, chemical and biological properties, e.g., soil texture, soil structure, and soil organisms. Healthy soil provides adequate levels of macro- and micronutrients to plants and contains sufficient populations of soil microorganisms. As a result of the increasingly intensified agriculture over the past few decades, soils are now showing symptoms of exhaustion and stagnating or declining crop yields. Exploring these developments as well as possible solutions based on holistic and sustainable approaches, this book is a valuable resource for researchers in the area of soil and environmental science, agronomy, agriculture, as well as students in the field of botany, ecology and microbiology.





商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書匯集了有關土壤健康及其可持續性的最新見解，提供了土壤質量和肥力管理各個方面的最新概述，例如，植物與微生物之間的相互作用以維持土壤健康；以及使用藻類、真菌和細菌肥料及蚯蚓來促進可持續的土壤健康和農業生產。

書中首先討論了土壤健康的過去、現在和未來情境，然後探討影響土壤健康的因素，以及土壤健康退化對可持續農業的後果。最後，書中強調了改善和維持土壤健康的解決方案，以實現更高的生產力和可持續性，而不損害土壤系統或環境。

土壤健康被定義為土壤在生態系統邊界內運作的能力，能夠維持生物生產力、保持環境質量並促進植物、動物和人類的健康。土壤健康是通過物理、化學和生物特性的相互作用來建立的，例如，土壤質地、土壤結構和土壤生物。健康的土壤為植物提供足夠的宏量和微量營養素，並包含足夠的土壤微生物群體。由於過去幾十年農業的日益強化，土壤現在顯示出疲憊的症狀，作物產量停滯或下降。本書探討了這些發展以及基於整體和可持續方法的可能解決方案，是土壤與環境科學、農藝學、農業領域的研究人員，以及植物學、生態學和微生物學領域的學生的寶貴資源。
