| Abstract
|
:
|
Visual Soil Evaluation provides land users and environmental authorities with simple methods to assess soil quality for crop performance. An important tool for ensuring food security, this book also shows how visual soil evaluation can reveal the potential of different land types for carbon storage, greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching.--COVER
