Описание книги

Approaches to Soil Health Analysis A concise survey of soil health analysis and its various techniques and applications The maintenance of healthy soil resources provides the foundation for an array of global efforts and initiatives that affect humanity. Whether they are working to combat food shortages, conserve our ecosystems, or mitigate the impact of climate change, researchers and agriculturalists the world over must be able to correctly examine and understand the complex nature of this essential, fragile resource. These new volumes have been designed to meet this need, addressing the many dimensions of soil health analysis in chapters that are concise, accessible and applicable to the tasks at hand. Soil Health, Volume One: Approaches to Soil Health Analysis provides a well-rounded overview of the various methods and strategies available to analysists, and covers topics including: The history of soil health and its studyChallenges and opportunities facing analysistsMeta-data and its assessmentApplications to forestry and urban land reclamationFuture soil health monitoring and evaluation approaches Offering a far-reaching survey of this increasingly interdisciplinary field, this volume will be of great interest to all those working in agriculture, private sector businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academic-, state-, and federal-research projects, as well as state and federal soil conservation, water quality and other environmental programs.

Four main criteria have been developed by the soil health community of researchers, agricultural service providers, and practitioners to select indicators and methods for high‐through‐put soil test laboratories (Larson & Pierce, 1991; Mausbach & Seybold, 1998; Doran & Zeiss, 2000; Moebius et al., 2007; Norris et al., 2020):

These were developed using scientific literature and robust discussions in a series of workshops coordinated by the Farm Foundation and Noble Research Institute through the Soil Renaissance program between 2014 and 2016 (https://www.farmfoundation.org/projects/the‐soil‐renaissance‐knowledge‐to‐sustain‐earths‐most‐valuable‐asset‐1873‐d1/). Understanding that soil health is a dynamic and evolving component of soil science, we recognize that both the indicators and methods recommended within these two volumes could change. Potential factors leading to changes may include identification of: (1) new or different critical soil processes, (2) more‐responsive SH indicators, and/or (3) better methods of assessment. Furthermore, because of the dynamic nature of soil health assessment, we suggest information in these volumes be reviewed in three to 5 yr or a decade at most.
