Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage a reçu le label de l'Année internationale de la planète Terre (AIPT). La dégradation du sol a une incidence non négligeable sur l'air et l'eau mais également sur notre santé. Conscient de la pression croissante exercée par l'homme sur les sols, le ministère en charge de l'Environnement a mis en place, depuis 1998, un programme de recherche sur la gestion du patrimoine sol (Gessol). Cet ouvrage synthétise les premiers résultats obtenus par les équipes ayant participé à ce programme. Il fournit ainsi de nouvelles connaissances sur les différents types de dégradation constatés : érosion, tassement, contamination, perte de matière organique et de biodiversité. Il propose également des méthodes alternatives de gestion des sols destinées à préserver durablement leurs fonctions environnementales. Ce texte s'adresse tant aux spécialistes du domaine qu'aux enseignants, décisionnaires et gestionnaires de la ressource en sols. En partenariat avec l'Ademe.
Download or read book Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 2 written by Guillaume Dhérissard and published by ISTE Group. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Base de la vie végétale, support de nos constructions et de nos infrastructures, réserve de biodiversité, réservoir de carbone… la liste de services rendus par les sols pourrait être longue. Leur importance cruciale pour la vie humaine n’est plus à démontrer. Il n’en reste pas moins que les sols, déjà fragiles, sont régulièrement les victimes de nos conflits d’intérêts, locaux et globaux, économiques et environnementaux. Les sols au coeur de la zone critique 2 propose un tour d’horizon des enjeux liés à une meilleure gestion des sols. Plusieurs regards seront convoqués, celui de l’agronome comme du juriste, de l’économiste comme du paysagiste ou du politiste. Ces analyses et réflexions permettront de réfléchir à une meilleure prise en compte des sols dans nos sociétés. Nous examinerons notamment les modalités de gouvernance pertinentes pour gérer ces biens précieux qui nous sont communs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gestion de la variation de la qualité des sols par les agriculteurs : enjeux pour la rentabilité et la durabilité des exploitations agricoles françaisesLa qualité des sols constitue un enjeu majeur en termes d'environnement et de préservation du potentiel agronomique et économique des exploitations agricoles. Les pratiques agricoles ont des impacts sur la qualité des sols, dont certains entraînent une dégradation des sols et mènent à une réduction de leur productivité. La thèse a pour objectif de caractériser et d'éclairer les enjeux économiques de moyen et long terme de la variation de la qualité des sols en mobilisant des outils théoriques, statistiques et empiriques. Nous tentons, en simulant différents scénarios économiques, d'identifier les leviers permettant de préserver le potentiel des sols. Nous utilisons un modèle dynamique de contrôle optimal où l'agent-agriculteur rationnel maximise son profit dans le temps sous contrainte de la dynamique de la qualité des sols.Il y a deux facteurs de production : les intrants productifs (tels les engrais minéraux azotés) et la qualité du sol, capturée par sa matière organique (MO). La qualité du sol est impactée par les intrants productifs utilisés par l'agriculteur, qui peut investir dans la qualité de ses sols via l'utilisation des résidus de culture, l'intensité de labour et les choix des rotations. Nos résultats montrent que l'investissement dans la qualité des sols fait partie d'une stratégie optimale de l'agriculteur qui, face à l'augmentation des prix des engrais et de l'énergie, substitue ainsi les fonctionnalités.

Download or read book Agroclimatology written by Jerry L. Hatfield and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we unlock resilience to climate stress by better understanding linkages between the environment and biological systems? Agroclimatology allows us to explore how different processes determine plant response to climate and how climate drives the distribution of crops and their productivity. Editors Jerry L. Hatfield, Mannava V.K. Sivakumar, and John H. Prueger have taken a comprehensive view of agroclimatology to assist and challenge researchers in this important area of study. Major themes include: principles of energy exchange and climatology, understanding climate change and agriculture, linkages of specific biological systems to climatology, the context of pests and diseases, methods of agroclimatology, and the application of agroclimatic principles to problem-solving in agriculture.

Download or read book World Atlas of Desertification written by United Nations Environment Programme and published by Hodder Arnold. This book was released on 1997 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Atlas of Desertification summarises the state of scientific knowledge on the drylands of the globe. Representing in graphic form the current stage of our understanding of desertification, as well as its extent and possible solutions, it contains an extraordinary amount of information of value to students and experts alike. The Atlas clearly shows that desertification is one of the world's most pressing environmental problems, and that it is a truly global issue. Since the publication of the first edition in 1992, over 100 countries have ratified the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. This 2nd edition reflects major advances in our understanding of desertification over the past few years and has been thoroughly revised and expanded to almost twice its original size. Because combating desertification involves all aspects of environmental issues, this edition covers a broader range of topics, including concerns surrounding poverty, biodiversity, climate change and the availability of water. Social and economic conditions also have a major impact on the progress and control of desertification and this edition contains the latest information on population movements which result from, and lead to desertification. Desertification directly affects the livelihoods of more than one billion people who are directly dependent on the land for their survival. Using the latest updated digitised maps of desertification and fully referenced throughout, this Atlas is essential reading for everyone concerned with the drylands and their people.
Download or read book Sorghum in the 21st Century Food Fodder Feed Fuel for a Rapidly Changing World written by Vilas A. Tonapi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 932 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sorghum is the most important cereal crop grown in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) of Africa, Asia, Australia and Americas for food, feed, fodder and fuel. It is the fifth most important cereal crop globally after rice, wheat, maize and barley, and plays a major role in global food security. Sorghum is consumed in different forms for various end-uses. Its grain is mostly used directly for food purposes. After the release of the proceedings of two international symposia in the form of books “Sorghum in Seventies” and “Sorghum in Eighties”, global sorghum research and development have not been documented at one place. Of course, few books on sorghum have been released that focus on specific issues/research areas, but comprehensive review of all aspects of recent development in different areas of sorghum science has not been compiled in the form a single book. This book is intended to fill in a void to bridge the gap by documenting all aspects of recent research and development in sorghum encompassing all the progress made, milestones achieved across globe in genetic diversity assessment, crop improvement and production, strategies for high yield, biotic and abiotic stress resistance, grain and stover quality aspects, storage, nutrition, health and industrial applications, biotechnological applications to increase production, including regional and global policy perspectives and developmental needs. This book will be an institutional effort to compile all the latest information generated in research and development in sorghum across the globe at one place.
