Download or read book Edafolog a uso y protecci n de suelos written by PORTA CASANELLAS, JAIME and published by Ediciones Mundi-Prensa. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existe un proverbio chino que dice "decídmelo y lo olvidaré / enseñádmelo y lo recordaré / implicadme y lo entenderé / aportaos y actuaré". Podría decirse que este libro, que por su contenido deja de denominarse Introducción y tiene por título de EDAFOLOGÍA: Uso y protección del suelo, toma aquella referencia como guía. En tal sentido, se puede afirmar que se trata de un libro novedoso, ya que plantea otra manera de adquirir el conocimiento, al considerar que la educación debe conducir a "saber" y "saber hacer". Para ello, dentro del reparto temporal de créditos de una asignatura se debe considerar como una parte importante el trabajo personal del estudiante, individualmente o en equipo, en seminarios y prácticas, tanto de laboratorio y aula de informática, como de campo y en la biblioteca. Este es un libro que enseña a observar y describir, observar e interpretar, interpretar y discutir, gestionar y proteger el suelo, trabajar en equipo, estimulando el interés del estudiante para que se implique y participe, como beneficiario que es de la educación que adquiere. Todo ello sin necesidad de conocimientos previos de Edafología. La estructura y contenido están orientados a facilitar y hacer más efectivo el proceso de enseñanza por parte del profesorado, al que se ofrecen múltiples modelos de actividades (piezas de actividad). Por ello puede y debe contribuir a mejorar la enseñanza de la Ciencia del Suelo en lengua española, para lograr la formación de profesionales más preparados y motivados para enfrentar con mejor criterio, racionalidad y efectividad los múltiples y crecientes problemas ambientales y de producción de alimentos en los que el suelo es un factor fundamental. Los estudios y el uso de la información existente de suelos requieren de profesionales de diferentes disciplinas con una adecuada formación básica y aplicada sobre las características y propiedades físicas, físico-químicas, químicas y biológicas de los suelos y de sus interacciones entre sí y con los factores climáticos y de uso y manejo de las tierras, a lo que contribuye este libro. Está estructurado en catorce Unidades en las que se tratan todos los aspectos y conocimientos más actuales sobre la Ciencia del Suelo. Se inicia con un material instructivo que contiene recomendaciones sobre metodologías de estudio y de trabajo en equipo. En cada capítulo, adicionalmente a su contenido científico, se incluyen aspectos que tienen que ver con la observación, comprensión, interpretación, uso y análisis crítico de dicho contenido por parte del estudiante. Por su contenido es un libro muy recomendable para ser utilizado como texto de referencia en cursos básicos de Edafología o Ciencia del Suelo a nivel de grado o de licenciatura en diferentes disciplinas relacionadas con la producción agrícola y forestal, y con ciencias ambientales. Por el nivel de desarrollo de los diferentes temas, también se puede utilizar como material bibliográfico de consulta para estudios de máster, en especialidades donde los suelos sean un recurso natural a ser considerado. Dada la distinta procedencia del estudiantado, se incluye Información Complementaria, para cubrir lagunas o para llegar a contenidos de mayor complejidad. En esta nueva edición, que es continuadora de la Edafología para la agricultura y el medio ambiente, se amplían y actualizan tanto el contenido como la forma de las anteriores ediciones, que han tenido una gran aceptación y uso en todos los países de habla hispana. Ello es así gracias a estar escrito con un lenguaje claro, a estar cuidadosamente ilustrado en color y a la dilatada experiencia docente, investigadora y profesional en el campo de la Edafología de los autores. Del Dr. Jaume Porta, que dirige la obra, cabe destacar que es presidente de la Sociedad Española de la Ciencia del Suelo y que ha sido profesor invitado del Institut National Agronomique de Paris-Grignon (France) y del Curso Internacional de Edafología Nicolás Aguilera de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). La Dra. Rosa M. Poch es la directora del Spanish Journal of Soil Science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil Management and Climate Change: Effects on Organic Carbon, Nitrogen Dynamics, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions provides a state of the art overview of recent findings and future research challenges regarding physical, chemical and biological processes controlling soil carbon, nitrogen dynamic and greenhouse gas emissions from soils. This book is for students and academics in soil science and environmental science, land managers, public administrators and legislators, and will increase understanding of organic matter preservation in soil and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. Given the central role soil plays on the global carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles and its impact on greenhouse gas emissions, there is an urgent need to increase our common understanding about sources, mechanisms and processes that regulate organic matter mineralization and stabilization, and to identify those management practices and processes which mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, helping increase organic matter stabilization with suitable supplies of available N. - Provides the latest findings about soil organic matter stabilization and greenhouse gas emissions - Covers the effect of practices and management on soil organic matter stabilization - Includes information for readers to select the most suitable management practices to increase soil organic matter stabilization

Download or read book Elsevier s Dictionary of Soil Science written by A. Canarache and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2006-10-17 with total page 1355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary includes some 9200 terms, each with a definition and often and additional descriptive text in English, the terms being translated in French, German and Spanish. It is more complete than similar previously published dictionaries or glossaries, and contains all fields of soil science as well as some adjacent fields of other earth sciences, agriculture and engineering. Present concepts and definitions are detailed along with earlier concepts, not only for historical reasons but also for developing new ideas. Concepts, terms and definitions usual in literature of various countries are discussed and compared, to offer an appropriate exchange of ideas. Soil classifications and methodologies for soil investigation coming from a score of European, American and other countries and international organisations are presented, and correlations between names of soil taxa in different classifications are suggested. Readers active in all branches of soil science will find accessible answers to many of their questions, either directly referring to procedures used in the organisations where they work, or related to way of thinking in other countries. Readers active in other branches, but needing information on soils, will also find answers to this dictionary of great assistance to their research.* Over 9200 terms with definitions in English and translations in French, German, Spanish* Includes all fields of soil science and many connected sciences* All present-day terminology with inclusion of earlier, classical concepts and terms * Terminology in current USDA Soil Taxonomy, FAO World Reference Base or Soil Resources, and other documents from different countriesGranted the "N.Cernescu" award from the Romanian Academy on Agricultural and Forestry Sciences

Download or read book The Soils of Argentina written by Gerardo Rubio and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive book on Argentinian pedology. It discusses the main soil types of Argentina, their geographical distribution, classification, functions, agricultural use, ecological aspects, and the threats to which they have been subjected during centuries of intensive and extensive management. The description of the soils is accompanied by a complete set of data, pictures and maps, including benchmark profiles and an overview of the country's agricultural production. It also deals with future scenarios of the relationships between soil science and other disciplines and the main challenges that soil science will face in the future. Further, the book explores aspects of the main soil forming factors, such as climate, vegetation, geology and geomorphology, making use of new, unpublished data and elaborations, and presents a history of pedological research in Argentina.
