Visual Soil Evaluation: Realizing Potential Crop Production with Minimum Environmental Impact; Copyright; Contents; List of Contributors; Preface; 1:Describing Soil Structures, Rooting and Biological Activity and Recognizing Tillage Effects, Damage and Recovery in Clayey and Sandy Soils; 1.1 Evaluation of Soil Structure; 1.1.1 Evaluation of the structure of clayey soils; 1.1.1.1 Soil structure of clayey soils in good condition; 1.1.1.2 Soil structure of compacted clayey soils; 1.1.1.3 Effect of texture on the identification of compaction of clayey soils
1.1.1.4 Natural recovery of clayey soils after compaction1.1.2 Evaluation of the structure of sandy soils; 1.1.2.1 Soil structure of sandy soils in good condition; 1.1.2.2 Soil structure of compactedsandy soils; 1.1.2.3 Natural recovery of sandy soils after compaction; 1.1.3 Observation of the structure in the entire 0.6 or 1 m of the profile; 1.1.3.1 Identification of the different layers in convent
Visual Soil Evaluation (VSE) provides land users and environmental authorities with the tools to assess soil quality for crop performance. This book describes the assessment of the various structural conditions of soil, especially after quality degradation such as compaction, erosion or organic matter loss. Covering a broad range of land types from abandoned peats to prime arable land, this useful handbook assesses yield potential across a range of scales. It also appraises the use of VSE in determining the potential of different land types for carbon storage, greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching, and for diagnosing and rectifying erosion and compaction in soils.
