The sustainability of soil use and management is ultimately reliant on the real-world behavior by practitioners, most particularly farmers. Therefore, there is a growing interest to integrate social components and farmer behavior with the ecological component of soil management (Amin et al., 2019). In modern society, with the fast-growing use ...
Nov 12, 2024 · Consequently, soil conservation practices and policies are essential to mitigate these threats and ensure the continued productivity of agricultural lands (Diop et al. 2022; Imarhiagbe et al. 2022). Soil conservation is especially imperative in light of the increasing global population and the growing demand for food and agricultural products.
Aug 10, 2020 · Interdisciplinary research. The sustainability of soil systems is affected by their bio-physico-chemical properties, and the soil use and management decisions made by farmers (Doran and Zeiss, 2000). These two aspects can be broadly categorized into natural and anthropogenic processes.

May 20, 2022 · A successful R&I approach for sustainable soil and land management needs to maintain a programmatic overview of all related societal challenges and knowledge types, while it needs to balance tradeoffs together with stakeholders (people affected by soil management directly or indirectly) and actors (people engaged with soil management) in order to include their opinions, perspectives, problems ...
Tillage can also cause soil erosion, disrupt soil organisms and soil structure; and remove residues that slow water run-off and evaporation, conserving soil moisture. Conservation tillage practices can reduce or eliminate the need for tillage, and the integration of perennials and cover crops can also protect soil from erosion and contribute to improving soil quality.
Introduction. There are multiple soil conservation practices that can reduce soil erosion and improve soil quality. In this module, you will explore what is meant by soil quality or soil health for agricultural production, as well as how strategic crop selection, crop sequencing, and reduced soil tillage practices in combination are most effective for improving soil quality for agriculture.

A healthy living soil provides the basis for plant establishment. and growth and for crop, forest and livestock production. it provides support, nutrients and water for plant root uptake. it contributes to the regulation of water, carbon and atmospheric gases. Soils vary across landscapes and with depth due to differences in geology, topography ...
