Soil Health and Climate Change
“Soil Health and Climate Change” presents a comprehensive overview of the concept of soil health, including the significance of key soil attributes and management of soil health in conventional and emerging land use systems in the context of climate change. Starting with a review of the physical, chemical and biological indicators of soil health and their significance for monitoring the impacts of climate change, this book then focuses on describing the role of soil structure, pH, organic matter, nitrogen, respiration and biota in sustaining the basic functions of soil ecosystems, and their anticipated responses to climate change. Further topics include the management of cropping, pastoral, and forestry systems, and rehabilitated mine sites, with a focus on mitigation of and adaptation to climate change impacts. Finally, the opportunities and potential risks of organic farming, biochar and bioenergy systems, and their ability to sustain and even enhance soil health, are discussed.
Biochar for Environmental Management
Biochar is the carbon-rich product which occurs when biomass (such as wood, manure or crop residues) is heated in a closed container with little or no available air. It can be used to improve agriculture and the environment in several ways, and its persistence in soil and nutrient-retention properties make it an ideal soil amendment to increase crop yields. In addition to this, biochar sequestration, in combination with sustainable biomass production, can be carbon-negative and therefore used to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, with potentially major implications for mitigation of climate change. Biochar production can also be combined with bioenergy production through the...
No-till Farming Systems for Sustainable Agriculture
This book is a comprehensive summary of current global research on no-till farming, and its benefits and challenges from various agronomic, environmental, social and economic perspectives. It details the characteristics and future requirements of no-till farming systems across different geographic and climatic regions, and outlines what is needed to increase the uptake of no-till farming globally. Over 35 chapters, this book covers in detail the agronomic and soil management issues that must be resolved to ensure the successful implementation of these systems. Important economic, environmental, social and policy considerations are discussed. It also features a series of case studies across a...
Spatial Modeling and Assessment of Environmental Contaminants
This book demonstrates the measurement, monitoring and mapping of environmental contaminants in soil & sediment, surface & groundwater and atmosphere. This book explores state-of-art techniques based on methodological and modeling in modern geospatial techniques specifically focusing on the recent trends in data mining techniques and robust modeling. It also presents modifications of and improvements to existing control technologies for remediation of environmental contaminants. In addition, it includes three separate sections on contaminants, risk assessment and remediation of different existing and emerging pollutants. It covers major topics such as: Radioactive Wastes, Solid and Hazardous Wastes, Heavy Metal Contaminants, Arsenic Contaminants, Microplastic Pollution, Microbiology of Soil and Sediments, Soil Salinity and Sodicity, Aquatic Ecotoxicity Assessment, Fluoride Contamination, Hydrochemistry, Geochemistry, Indoor Pollution and Human Health aspects. The content of this book will be of interest to researchers, professionals, and policymakers whose work involves environmental contaminants and related solutions.
Driving Global Health and Sustainable Development Goals With Smart Technology
The integration of smart technologies into healthcare systems is revolutionizing how medical services are delivered, enhancing the quality and accessibility of care. These innovations play a critical role in advancing global health. By leveraging technology, healthcare systems can address long-standing challenges such as inefficiencies, rising costs, and disparities in access. This transformation is not only driving better patient outcomes but also contributing to sustainable healthcare practices, aligning with global efforts to ensure well-being for all and support public health goals like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the world faces ongoing public health challenges, the ado...

Embracing Transhumanism and Genomics in Human Resources Management
Over the past several years, genomic testing has become increasingly popular among the public as a novelty for both gaining a better understanding of their heath predispositions and for learning about their ancestry. Harnessing the benefits of this practice at an organizational level can provide the opportunity for untapped strategy in terms of human resource management and enhanced business structures. Embracing Transhumanism and Genomics in Human Resources Management delves into how genomic insights can enhance talent management, employee well-being, and organizational development. It discusses leveraging genomic research to improve recruitment, personalized training, health initiatives, and succession planning. Covering topics such as data privacy and security, genomic screening, and wellness initiatives, this book is an excellent resource for HR professionals, researchers, technology enthusiasts, practitioners, academicians, researchers, graduate and postgraduate students, educators, and more.
Advances in Agronomy
