This book may appeal to you if you're fascinated by how water interacts with soil and how these dynamics are being altered by climate change. It's a compelling choice for those interested in delving into the science behind the stability of ecosystems, agricultural productivity, and water resource management in the face of environmental changes.

Soil Hydrology in a Changing Climate

Explores the impact of changing climate on soil hydrology and soil water dynamics.

Description

A changing climate is causing challenges for soil and water management in many parts of the world. Current soil management practices need to be redesigned to effectively address present and future fluctuating climates.

Soil Hydrology in a Changing Climate explores how soil management practices impact soil hydrological characteristics, and how we can improve our understanding of soil and water management under changing conditions. Soil hydrology includes water infiltration and soil water storage, which are critical for agricultural plant and animal production. With our future climate predicted to include hotter, drier conditions, increases in evapotranspiration as well as fewer, more intense storms, improved soil management and soil hydrology are critical to ensuring our agriculture production can meet human demand.

This comprehensive book is a valuable resource for land managers, soil conservationists, researchers and others who wish to understand how different management practices affect soil and water dynamics and how these practices can be adjusted to enhance agricultural sustainability and environmental quality.
