Advances in Measuring Soil Health Hardback
Edited by Professor Wilfred Otten
Part of the Burleigh Dodds Series in Agricultural Science series
Hardback
Description
Understanding and measuring the different dimensions of soil health is key to achieving regenerative agriculture.
There has been a wealth of research on developing better analytical techniques to measure the biological, physical and chemical properties of soils.
Advances in measuring soil health reviews these developments and their implications for better management of farm soils.
The volume begins by reviewing advances in measuring soil biological activity such as earthworms and fungi as indicators of soil health.
The collection also surveys developments in measuring soil physical properties through advances in visual, imaging and geophysical techniques, as well as the methods used to measure chemical properties such as soil organic carbon.
It concludes by looking at how measurement can be translated into farming practice through soil health indicators and decision support systems. With its distinguished editor and expert authors, Advances in measuring soil health will be a standard reference for university and other researchers in soil and crop science, government and other agencies responsible for the health of agricultural soils, companies providing soil monitoring services, and farmers wishing to know more about the latest developments in soil monitoring.
