This book provides the first comprehensive overview of saline and alkaline soils in Latin America, known for having one of the most extensive surface of salt-affected soils in the world. It is organized along two main axes: soils and vegetation. The book discusses the occurrence of such soils in the region, focusing mainly in management strategies for their sustainable use, and it presents accounts of natural vegetation and crops in the various environments of the region. Social impacts of such conditions and ongoing projects to overcome them are considered. Likewise, the book highlights physiological mechanisms that are responsible for the negative effects these soils exert on crops and forest resources and determine vegetation distribution in them. Plant breeding challenges and new perspectives for such environments are discussed. Technologies such as irrigation and drainage are included. The readership includes soil and plant scientists, as well as policy makers.
This book combines multidisciplinary studies on the environmental consequences of intensified use of land and water, and the fusion of land to provide food for a growing population. Studies on water, vegetation, and soil are addressed from an environmental management perspective with a special focus on the relation between natural elements and humans. This book considers the essential dynamics of humans and the natural environment, which is especially important in areas with shallow water-table that influence directly on agricultural activities (crops, livestock, and forests), land management, flooding, droughts, waterlogging, salt-affected soils (saline and sodic) and variation in obtained ...

„Nagy élmény ez az éjszaka! Felettem zöldellő faág és a csillagos ég.” A csöndben őzek, dámvadak osonnak le a „kopolyához”… – írja naplójában tizenévesen a majdani kutató, a növény biológia professzora, két teljes napot egyedül eltöltve a Nagynyíri-erdőben. Folytatódik a sor nyári diákmunkaként egész megyéket feltérképező kerékpártúrákkal, ifjúkori nyaralásokkal, majd eljutunk a már felnőtt férfi, családapa kutatói munkáival összekapcsolódó utazásaihoz, tanulmányútjaihoz. Egyszerű turista számára elérhetetlen oldalát láthatjuk Hollandiának, Japánnak, megtudjuk, hol van „Fokhagymaország”, van-e, volt-e rabszolgaság ...
