{"product_id":"9780521039437","title":"Understanding Soil Change : Soil Sustainability over Millennia, Centuries, and Decades","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcross the world, soils are managed with an intensity and at a geographic scale never before attempted, yet we know remarkably little about how and why managed soils change through time. Understanding Soil Change explores a legacy of soil change in south-eastern North America, a region of global ecologic, agricultural and forestry significance: from the acidic soils of primary hardwood forests that covered the region until about 1800, through the marked transformations affected by long-cultivated cotton, to contemporary soils of rapidly growing and intensively managed pine forests. These well-documented records significantly enrich the science of ecology and pedology, and provide valuable lessons for land management throughout the world. The book calls for the establishment of a global network of soil-ecosystem studies, like the invaluable Calhoun study on which the book is based, to provide further information on sustainable land management, vital as human demands on soil continue to increase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48681830777067,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":120.85,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780521039437-1.jpg?v=1781625479","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780521039437","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
