Dear Colleagues, Global health is deteriorating due to the direct and indirect effects of climate change, increasing population and resource degradation. Conservation agriculture (CA) is increasingly promoted around the world as an alternative strategy to address degradation resulting from organic matter and nutrient content depletion, sustain crop productivity with lower production ...

This book was born as an international tribute to Fiorenzo C. Ugolini, an outstanding scientist who recently retired from university teaching and research. It is a fully up-to-date synthesis of the present knowledge of soils, their genesis, functions and management. It includes contributions from leading scientists and the result is a ...

Digital information is likely to be welcomed by such groups. For example, GSM will focus on providing inputs (e.g., texture, organic carbon, and -depth parameters) to -Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer models that are used to predict land-cover changes in response to anticipated climatic and human disturbances across the globe.
