This book collects contributions by experts around the world to present a comprehensive picture of key issues in soil management today. Across four sections, contributors offer practical case studies and scientific perspectives to create a wide-ranging, high-quality resource. In the first part, issues in soil fertility are examined through topics including sustainable management of soil potassium and the management of soil acidity in tropical fruit orchards. The second part of the book presents new research on the complex subject of soil erosion. Chapters address issues including flood control in land consolidation and soil erosion after wildfires. Part three reviews topics in drainage systems, and chapters range across subjects such as lime filter drainage systems, tile drainage, and non-linear radiation models for subsurface drainage. Finally, part four examines soil contamination, including discussions of monitoring contamination around medical waste incinerators and managing contamination caused by winter maintenance in cold regions. The book offers up-to-date research that will be of interest to readers in agriculture and agronomy, land management and environmental science.
