Klappentext zu „Soil Conservation and Management “
This updated and expanded second edition textbook, describes all main aspects of soil management, to address the serious problems of soil erosion and the attendant environmental pollution. The global high demands for food, fiber, feed, and fuel put a constant strain on the environment, which can only be mitigated by soil conservation.This edition incorporates new concepts and provides an up-to-date review of soil management principles and practices. The authors also added new chapters on cover crops, crop residues, soil water management, nutrient management, perennials in crop rotations and organic amendments. All practices have a clear perspective on addressing soil erosion, physical and chemical problems, carbon dynamics and sequestration as well as non-point source pollution. The restorative nature of many practices, also consider water conservation as a main pillar of sustaining a healthy soil.
This textbook is valuable for students and professionals in soil science, agronomy, agricultural engineering, hydrology, and management of natural resources.

Autoren-Porträt von Humberto Blanco, Rattan Lal
Humberto Blanco is a Professor of Soil Management and Applied Soil Physics in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He got his B.Sc. in Soil Science from the Technical Univ. of Oruro, Bolivia in 1990. Then, he received his M.Sc. in 1995 and Ph.D. in 2003 in Soil Conservation and Applied Soil Physics from the Univ. of Missouri, Columbia. He worked at the Ohio State Univ. as a Research Scientist from 2004 to 2007. In 2008, he accepted a faculty position at Kansas State University. In 2012, he moved to the Univ. of Nebraska at Lincoln. His appointment is 60% research and 40% teaching. He teaches Soil Management and Applied Soil Physics. His research work focuses on the characterization of soil processes and properties, water and wind erosion, water quality parameters, soil water management, soil-water-nutrient-plant relationships, soil C sequestration and C dynamics, and greenhouse gas emissions under different management practices. Such practices include cover crops, cover crop grazing, conservation tillage (e.g., no-till, reduced till), cropping systems, organic farming, crop residue removal for livestock and biofuel production, inorganic fertilization, conservation buffers, dedicated biofuel crops (e.g., perennial warm-season grasses), biochar, and others. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed articles and four books. His h-index is 53. His research work frequently appears in the CSA News. He was an invited speaker to several countries (Germany, Canada, Ukraine, Brazil, and Argentina). He is a Fellow of the Soil Science Society of America. He has received several awards including the Shirley Phillips No-till Award (Univ. of Kentucky), Best Paper Awards, Young Scholar Award of the Soil Science Society of America (SSSA), and others. He served as Chair of the Soil and Water Management and Conservation Division of SSSA. He is currently a Technical Editor for Agronomy Journal and he has served as an Associate Editor
