Ecological Aspects of Soil and Land Preservation

Olga Anatolievna Pasko

Agricultural lands worldwide are deteriorating, becoming acidic and losing essential humus content. This impacts global food quality and nutrition. Causes include extreme natural events and harmful human activities like deforestation. The consequences are stark—shrinking agricultural land, reduced fertility, lower crop yields, and increased costs. Developing nations face food shortages, population decline, and shortened life expectancy. The urgency demands international cooperation, legislation, and technological advancements. Ecological Aspects of Soil and Land Preservation delves into this critical issue, emphasizing the need for collective action and sustainable solutions. Ecological Aspects of Soil and Land Preservation serves as a resource for scholars, students, and professionals committed to addressing the crisis. This book collects, summarizes, and analyzes the latest information on agricultural land and forest degradation. Beyond that, it introduces groundbreaking hypotheses, theories, and solutions, enriching the scientific community's understanding. The objective is clear: to be an informative resource that not only sheds light on the problem but also catalyzes actionable solutions.
