Ebook: Improving soil health

Improving soil health is increasingly seen as the foundation for ‘climate-smart’ and more sustainable crop production based on agroecological principles. Improving soil health provides a comprehensive coverage of recent research on the effects of different management strategies on the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils. The collection offers an assessment of the key management strategies implemented as a means for improving soil health, crop yields and ecosystem productivity, including zero tillage, intercropping, crop rotation, cover crops and organic amendments.
