Описание: This compilation opens with an exploration of the vadose, or unsaturated zone, which is of utmost importance as the nexus between surface water and groundwater. It is the link between what happens on the surface and what happens below, inside the aquifers. As such, understanding this underground natural environment is essential for the sustainable development of society. Due to the complexities involved in considering the hysteretic response of the Soil Water Characteristic Curve and its dependency on volume changes, these two features are often ignored in numerical studies of unsaturated soils. To facilitate their use in numerical modeling, a model for the Soil Water Characteristic Curve equation based on the bounding surface concept is proposed. The authors go on to focus on the temperature distribution and water migration in unsaturated soil, which is of significant importance because these factors are related to the thermal-physical properties of soil. The changes in these properties may cause disastrous engineering problems such as the cracking of pavement, damage of structure foundation and fracture of pipelines. Lastly, the book addresses the measurement and expression of the mass chemical potential in the presence of superficial layers induced by a complex structure. By definition, the mass chemical potential of a constituent in a soil represents the variation of the internal energy of the medium when a unit mass of the constituent is transferred to a reference state with the entropy, volume and mass of the other constituents remaining constant.
Описание: Focuses on ways to improve crop productivity and sustainability through water and salinity management and defines approaches and technologies to assess and monitor soil water content and salinity. The test results of a new landscape soil moisture measuring tool (cosmic ray neutron sensor) for area-wide soil water measurements are also presented.
Описание: This technical document provides a conceptual framework and standard methodologies for the monitoring, reporting and verification of changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions/removals from agricultural projects that adopt sustainable soil management practices at farm level. It applies to different agricultural lands, including annual and perennial crops (e.g. food, fibre, forage and bioenergy crops), paddy rice, grazing lands with livestock including pastures, grasslands, rangelands, shrublands, silvopasture and agroforestry.
Soils have become one of the world’s most vulnerable resources in the face of climate change, land degradation, biodiversity loss and increased demand for food production. It is widely recognized that maintaining and increasing SOC stocks is not only crucial for reducing GHG emissions and removing CO2 from the atmosphere, but also for harnessing the benefits of increased SOC (and soil organic matter) for soil health and fertility by improving water storage and thereby increasing the access of plants to water, food production potential and resilience to drought.
The Global Soil Organic Carbon– Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (GSOC-MRV) protocol has been developed through an inclusive and active process involving experts and institutions from all regions of the world. This protocol does not constitute a mandatory document for FAO members or institutions, but is rather a guiding, non-binding technical document. As a living document, its continuous improvement and refinement is expected after its use and implementation in the field.
Описание: This manual is part of a global farmer-to-farmer training initiative that aims to increase the knowledge of farmers across the world on soils. It contains a list of soil testing methods that can help farmers assess the condition of their soil in the field as a way to halt soil degradation and as a first step to sustainable soil management.
Indeed, to prevent soil degradation and the loss or reduction of soil functions, including the provision of healthy and nutritious food, there is an urgent need for soils to be sustainably managed. A prerequisite for the sustainable management of soil resources is the availability of reliable information and in particular, of information on how different soil management practices impact soils.
In addition to an inventory of methods, the manual lists the parameters considered critical to soil health. It also includes a section on visual observations using Visual Soil Assessments (VSA) for annual crops and the information that these can provide on the health of a soil.

Описание:
Soil and Water Contamination, Second Edition gives a structured overview of transport and fate processes of environmental contaminants. Dealing with all topics essential for understanding and predicting contaminant patterns in soil, groundwater and surface water, it contributes to the formation of a solid basis for adequate soil and water pollution control and integrated catchment management. A unique feature of this work is that it does not treat water and soil pollution as independent processes, but as components of an integrated whole. The core of this geoscientific approach is divided into four parts: - Introduction to the basics of soil and water contamination, such as the fundamentals of environmental pollution and chemistry and the basic properties of soil, groundwater and surface water. - Source, role, and behaviour of substances in soil and water, treating natural and anthropogenic sources of nutrients, heavy metals, radionuclides and organic pollutants as well as emerging substances of concern, their physico-chemical characteristics, behaviour, and toxicity. - Transport and fate of substances in soil and water, focusing on processes of transport, exchange and transformations like advection, dispersion, adsorption kinetics and biochemical decay. Special attention is paid to the mathematical description and modelling of these processes. - Patterns of substances in soil and water, explaining spatial and temporal patterns of pollutants in soil, groundwater, and surface water, illustrated by recent case studies from fundamental and applied research.
This comprehensive, successful textbook, now in its second edition, has been conscientiously updated and extended and includes many case studies, examples and exercises sections, providing undergraduate and graduate students in the Earth and Environmental Sciences with all the material necessary for the study of soil and water contamination. In addition, it can serve as a useful source of information for professionals.
