Ecosystem services and tropical soils of India by D.K. Pal - First edition - 1 recurso en línea (XII, 113 páginas) 23 ilustraciones - Biomedical and Life Sciences (Springer-11642) .
1: Overview and Introduction -- 2: Agro-Ecological Regions for Better Crop Planning and Ecosystem Services -- 3: Organic Carbon Sequestration and Eco-System Service of Indian Tropical Soils -- 4: Is Soil Inorganic Carbon (CaCO3, SIC) Sequestration A Bane or A Hidden Treasure in Soil Eco-System Services? -- 5: Soil Modifiers (Ca-zeolite and Gypsum) as Ecosystem Engineers in Soils of Humid and Semi-Arid Tropical Climates -- 6: Degradation in Indian Tropical Soils: A Commentary -- 7: Summary and Concluding Remarks.
This book highlights ecosystem services of Indian tropical soils driven by soil properties. Soils are complex and important biomaterials and have an outstanding role in providing ecosystem services to mankind. The tropical soils have been traditionally and generally considered as either agriculturally poor or virtually useless by many. This book will discuss the difficulties encountered in managing Indian tropical soils in order to sustain their productivity. Some unique soil properties are yet to be linked explicitly to soil ecosystem services and soil care needs to be a constant research endeavour in the Indian tropical environment. This book highlights the new and unique soil knowledge base necessary to close the gap between food production and future population growth.
