Degeneration to regeneration: repairing soil health for the future of land and sea life<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chemical fertilizers are used because of a lack of nutrients naturally present in degraded soil. Land degradation is a process that begins when forests are initially cleared for agriculture and ultimately overfarmed or overgrazed until the carrying capacity of the land has dwindled. Instead of clearing fields, intensifying monocrop production, and ultimately degrading the land, agriculture focused on the power of trees (agroforestry) strives to protect the soil, diversify crops, and optimize the land sustainably. Trees for the Future has 30 years of experience working with farmers to find innovative ways to revive degraded lands<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Global Conference on Sandy Soils<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

31 May \u2013 4 June 2020. University of Wisconsin-Madison,\u00a0USA.
\nSandy soils \u2013 as a group of soils \u2013 have received limited research attention. With increasing global pressure on land resources, marginal soils such as sandy soils are taken into production or cultivated more intensely. There is a need to quantify and understand the properties of sandy soils across the globe. The workshop format will be symposia with several keynotes followed by 5-10 minutes presentations and ample time for discussions. Conference topics include: Sandy soils \u2013 distribution and formation; Soil water repellency, crust, and compaction; Runoff, erosion, and groundwater management; Monitoring, mapping, and management of salinization; Nutrient management; Carbon sequestration and soil health; Management and remediation of contaminants; Soil water conservation and biodiversity; Soil security on sandy soils.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil Degradation and Restoration in Africa<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Edited by Rattan Lal, B. A. Stewart. 1st Edition published in July 2019 by\u00a0CRC\u00a0Press; 330 pages, 20 Color Illustrations, 101 B\/W Illus.; eBook\u00a0ISBN\u00a09781315102849, hardcover\u00a0ISBN\u00a09781138103313, price hardcover\u00a0GBP\u00a0140.00.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil degradation is a widespread problem in Africa resulting in decreased agricultural productivity while demand for food continues to increase. Degradation is caused by accelerated erosion, acidification, contamination, depletion of soil organic matter and plant nutrients, and salinization. The major cause of soil degradation in Africa is uncontrolled and excessive grazing in the savanna regions followed by deforestation and the use of inappropriate and extractive farming practices. Perpetual neglect of the health of soils in Africa can exacerbate the already serious problems of food and nutritional insecurity and environmental degradation. Food and nutritional security of the growing population of Africa can only be achieved if degraded soils are restored and soils of agroecosystems are managed prudently and sustainably. Ignoring soils and taking the fragile, finite and precious soil resources for granted is the principal cause of poverty, hunger, and environmental degradation. The downward spiral must be reversed through soil restoration measures based on translating science into action.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Part of the\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Advances in Soil Sciences<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0series, this volume is specifically devoted to the processes and factors that cause soil degradation and the challenges and potential for remediation and restoration of soil health in Africa.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Determination of Toxic Organic Chemicals In Natural Waters, Sediments and Soils: Determination and Analysis<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By T. R. Crompton. 1st Edition published by Academic Press on 8 June 2019; 422 pages, Paperback\u00a0ISBN: 9780128158562, eBook\u00a0ISBN: 9780128165300, price paperback:\u00a0EUR\u00a0119.14, price eBook: \u20ac132.51.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This tome reviews the latest techniques for the determination and assessment of both current and emerging organic compounds in a range of important environmental contexts. A wide range of organic compounds in non-saline waters are discussed in the opening chapters, including hydrocarbons, surface active agents and volatile organic compounds. This is followed by multiorganics, pesticides and organometallic compounds in non-saline waters. Organic compounds in aqueous precipitation are then explored before the book goes on to discuss compounds in soils, including extraction techniques, insecticides, herbicides and fungicides, and organometallic compounds.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the concluding chapters focus on compounds in sediments, providing readers with the latest information in the field and supporting them as they address the important issue surrounding organic material throughout ecosystems.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil Fertility Management for Sustainable Development<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Edited by Deepak G. Panpatte and Yogeshvari K. Jhala. Published by Springer, 2019. Print\u00a0ISBN\u00a0978-981-13-5903-3; Online\u00a0ISBN\u00a0978-981-13-5904-0; price eBook:\u00a0EUR\u00a0107.09.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soil fertility is the backbone of agricultural systems and plays a key role in determining food quantity and quality. In recent decades, soil fertility has decreased due to indiscriminate use of agrochemicals, and nations around the globe are now facing the challenge of increasing food production while sustainably maintaining soil fertility. Written by leading international scientists in the field, this book explores soil fertility management strategies, including agronomic, microbiological and soil-science based strategies. Highlighting the practices that can be incorporated into organic farming and discussing recent advances, it is a valuable resource for researchers wanting to broaden their vision and the scope of their investigations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saline Soil-based Agriculture by Halotolerant Microorganisms<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Edited by Manoj\u00a0Kumar, Hassan\u00a0Etesami, Vivek\u00a0Kumar. Published by Springer, 2019. Print\u00a0ISBN\u00a0978-981-13-8334-2, Online\u00a0ISBN\u00a0978-981-13-8335-9. Price eBook:\u00a0EUR\u00a091.62.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This book discusses the role of salt in current agricultural approaches, including the low salt tolerance of agricultural crops and trees, impact of saline soils, and salt-resistant plants.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Halophytes are extremely salt tolerant plants, which are able to grow and survive under salt at concentrations as high as 5 g\/l by maintaining negative water potential. The salt-tolerant microbes inhabiting the rhizospheres of halophytes may contribute to their salt tolerance, and the rhizospheres of halophytic plants provide an ideal opportunity for isolating various groups of salt-tolerant microbes that could enhance the growth of different crops under salinity stress.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The book offers an overview of salt-tolerant microbes\u2019 ability to increase plant tolerance to salt to facilitate plant growth, the potential of the halophytes\u2019 rhizospheres as a reservoir of beneficial salt-tolerant microbes, their future application as bio-inoculants in agriculture and a valuable resource for an alternative way of improving crop tolerance to salinity and promoting saline soil-based agriculture. This special collection of reviews highlights some of the recent advances in applied aspects of plant (halophytes)-microbe interactions and their contribution towards eco-friendly approaches saline soil-based agriculture.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
