Management of Problem Soils in Arid Ecosystems

Management of Problem Soils in Arid Ecosystems examines the challenges of managing soils in arid and semiarid regions. These soils contain low organic matter, are not leached, and accumulate lime, gypsum, and/or soluble salts, requiring special management and practices. This book discusses how to identify problems, reclaim the soils, and then use them efficiently and economically. Water management and desertification in these areas are also discussed. It contains extensive references as well as 40 tables and illustrations.Balba, A. Monem is the author of 'Management of Problem Soils in Arid Ecosystems' with ISBN 9780873718110 and ISBN 0873718119.
