Soil Conservation is a key text not only for agricultural engineers, but also for students of agriculture, forestry, geography, geology and ecology indeed all those concerned with soil erosion. This new and fully revised edition of Normal Hudson s standard work. Gives information on recent advan- ces, including the greater emphasis on sound land use and farming methods, the importance of involvi-ng the farmer at all stages; the need for low-cost, low-labour methods. Shows how research, theory and practice can be applied in the developing countries. Presents the engineering approach to soil conservation in a simple, common-sense way. The text reflects the postgraduate course in soil conservation at Silsoe College, as taught to students from over 40 different countries. The result is a teaching text which will be of use in all countries where soil conservation is a major consideration in agricultural development. After 13 years as a Conservation Officer and Researcher in Africa, Norman Hudson taught for 20 years at Silsoe College (formerly the National College of Agricultural Engineering), a Faculty of Cranfield University, and now practises as a consultant. He has Lectured at universities throughout the world, and has studied soil conservation in more than 40 different countries. He has worked as a consultant for FAO, The World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, The International Found for Agricultural Development, and aid agencies of Britain, the USA and Sweden. Professor Hudson was the 1983 recipient of the Hugh Hammond Bennett Award, the highest professional honour made by the Soil Conservation Society of America, and the President s Citation in 1989. He is a past President of the World Association of Soil and Water Conservation, founder of the International Centre for Soil Conservation Information, and Founder Chairman of the Association for Better Land Husbandry. In 1993 he was awarded the OBE for services to soil conservation.

Soil degradation is one of the most topical environmental threats. A number of processes causing soil degradation, specifically erosion, compaction, salinization, pollution, and loss of both organic matter and soil biodiversity, are also strictly connected to agricultural activity and its intensification. The development and adoption of sustainable agronomic practices able to preserve and enhance the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils and improve agroecosystem functions is a challenge for both scientists and farmers. The Special Issue entitled "Sustainable Agriculture and Soil Conservation" collects 12 original contributions addressing the state of the art of sustainable agriculture and soil conservation. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including organic agriculture, soil amendment and soil organic carbon (SOC) management, the impact of SOC on soil water repellency, the effects of soil tillage on the quantity of SOC associated with several fractions of soil particles and depth, and SOC prediction, using visible and near-infrared spectra and multivariate modeling. Moreover, the effects of some soil contaminants (e.g., crude oil, tungsten, copper, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) are discussed or reviewed in light of the recent literature. The collection of the manuscripts presented in this Special Issue provides a relevant knowledge contribution for improving our understanding on sustainable agriculture and soil conservation, thus stimulating new views on this main topic.

Save time and effort with this practical guide to all aspects of water and soil conservation Soil and Water Conservation Handbook is a concise, compact encyclopedia of the policies, practices, conditions, and terms related to soil and/or water conservation. This handy A-to-Z guide contains descriptions of more than 700 entries, presented in a practical, non-technical format that’s suitable for beginners as well as experts. It’s a ready reference source of information for researchers, extension agents, policymakers, academics, and anyone else concerned about soil and water conservation. Internationally acclaimed soil scientist Dr. Paul Unger has called on his 35 years experience researching the effects of tillage, crop residues, and soil management as well as his observations in more than 40 countries to assemble a resource on soil and water conservation that's concise but comprehensive. Sources for the book’s main and secondary entries—many of which are cross-referenced—include technical journals, bulletins, reports, farm magazines, commercial leaflets, books, and Internet resources. Soil and Water Conservation Handbook also includes a detailed table of contents and an index, allowing quick and easy access to any entry. Soil and Water Conservation Handbook includes entries that cover: climate characteristics cropping systems and sequences erosion types human factors management issues planting and seeding methods crop residue types and management practices soil and land conditions tillage methods water control practices and much more Soil and Water Conservation Handbook is an invaluable reference for researchers, agricultural extension agents, Natural Resource Conservation Service personnel, educators and students, land managers, and farmers.
