	Understanding Soil Change
	Order Code: CB061U ISBN Number: 9780521039437 Publisher: Cambridge University Press No. of Pages: 269 Date of Publication: 2007 Price: £23.99
Across the world, soils are managed with an intensity and at a geographic scale never before attempted, yet we know remarkably little about how and why managed soils change through time. Understanding Soil Change explores a legacy of soil change in south-eastern North America, a region of global ecologic, agricultural and forestry significance: from the acidic soils of primary hardwood forests that covered the region until about 1800, through the marked transformations affected by long-cultivated cotton, to contemporary soils of rapidly growing and intensively managed pine forests. These well-documented records significantly enrich the science of ecology and pedology, and provide valuable lessons for land management throughout the world. The book calls for the establishment of a global network of soil-ecosystem studies, like the invaluable Calhoun study on which the book is based, to provide further information on sustainable land management, vital as human demands on soil continue to increase. For anyone interested in soils, in human dependence on soils, and on how human activities affect changes in soils and ecosystems. Provides an accessible synthesis of long-term observations from the Calhoun Forest Experiment, USA. Presents general conclusions from the Calhoun data which provide lessons for land management throughout the world.
