Land-use Change Impacts on Soil Processes:Tropical and Savannah Ecosystems; Copyright; Contents; Contributors; Acknowledgements; 1:Land-use Change Impacts on Soil Processes in Tropical and Savannah Ecosystems: An Introduction; 1.1 Introduction; 1.2 The Importance of Soil to Human Well-being; 1.3 Land-use Change and Soil Properties; 1.4 Themes and Scope of this Book; 1.4.1 The effects of land-use change on soil microbial populations; 1.4.2 Urban soils, agriculture and soil contamination; 1.4.3 Land-use effects on soil carbon and soil organic matter; References
2:Effects of Land-use Changes on Biochemical and Microbial Parameters in Soils of the Andaman Islands, India2.1 Introduction; 2.2 Materials and Methods; 2.2.1 Study site; 2.2.2 Soil sampling; 2.2.3 Soil biochemical/microbial parameters; 2.2.4 Statistical analyses; 2.3 Results; 2.3.1 Soil microbial biomass; 2.3.2 Soil respiration; 2.3.3 Adenylates and adenylate energy charge; 2.3
This book examines the effects that land-use changes (notably agricultural intensification, logging, soil erosion, urbanisation and mining) have on soil characteristics and processes in tropical and savannah environments. It covers a range of geographical regions and environments as impacts of land use change are often site specific. The effects of land use change on various aspects of the soil ecosystem from both a chemical and biological perspective will be examined.
