Soil is formed from the physical and chemical weathering of rocks-processes described historically becau'se they involve eons of time-by glaciation and by wind and water transport of soil materials, which are later deposited in deltas and loessial planes. Soil undergoes further transformations over time and provides a habitat for biological life and a base for the development of civilizations. Soil is dynamic-always changing as a result of the forces of nature and particularly by the influences of man. Soil has been studied as long as history has been documented. Numerous references to soil...

Understanding Climate Change Impact on Crop Productivity and Water covers topics on emission of greenhouse gases and their warming effect, climate change projections and crop productivity and water. The book begins with an overview of the cycles of the most important greenhouse gases that influence the climate system and the different mechanisms involved. Readers are then made familiar with technical terms from climate projections. Mechanisms and projections are then put together to present to possible impacts on crop productivity and water balance. Finally, based on the impacts'...
