This PDF covers the following topics
related to Soil Biology : The Soil Food Web, the Food Web & Soil Health,
Bacteria, Soil Fungi, Soil Protozoa, Nematodes, Arthropods, Earthworms.
The purpose of this web
resource is to provide fundamental concepts for managing nutrients in tropical
soils and container crop production. Topics covered includes: Soil composition,
Soil profile Factors that cause differences in soil behavior and performance,
Goals of Modern Nutrient Management, Soil-Nutrient Relationships, Soil Acidity
and Liming, Essential Nutrients, Soil Fertility Evaluation, Fertilizer Material,
Fertilizer Placement.
This book is
organized into two sections. The first section covers three major aspects, viz.,
an understanding of patterns of land degradation and desertification for
developing mitigation strategies, land-atmosphere interaction from response of
land cover to climate change effects of Karst rocky desertification. The last
section dwells on the relationship between soil degradation and crop production
and an examination on how land degradation impacts the quality of soil in
communal rangelands.
