This book presents the most recent analytical techniques for determining key indicators of soil health, including physical, chemical, and biological parameters. While many current soil analysis manuals focus primarily on basic chemical and physical properties without emphasizing soil health assessment, recent literature shows that indicator parameters such as soil carbon pools, soil aggregation behavior, aggregate-associated carbon content, and biological activity are increasingly being used to monitor changes in soil quality and soil health over time. Analytical protocols for these parameters are available in various research journals.
This book is an essential resource for researchers, postgraduate students, academics, and policymakers in the fields of Soil Science, Agronomy, Natural Resource Management, and Forestry. It compiles the latest procedures for assessing soil health indicator parameters, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date guide for those working in these fields.
