Environmental degradation in Europe is attracting increasing concern, especially from farmers, scientists and policy makers. This book, a collection of refereed papers from the First International Congress of the European Society for Soil Conservation, covers the assessment, prediction and modelling of soil degradation, and the strategies used to combat the problem. The current status of soil degradation is reported at both national and local levels, and is related to natural processes such as desertification or to mismanagement of the environment through agricultural or industrial activities. The consequences of soil degradation include loss of soil, fertility and nutrients, declining land productivity and the detrimental effects of sediment and associated contaminants on water quality. There are critiques of the traditional methodologies used in soil erosion research, including the use of erodibility and erosivity indices, rainfall simulation and experimental erosion plots. Other technologies such as geographical information systems and remote sensing are also applied to the study of degradation processes. As well as chapters concerned with existing soil erosion models, a new European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM) is described and tested. The diverse nature of conservation measures currently used in Europe is presented, ranging from evaluation of traditional methods such as bench terracing and the use of vegetation, through to novel products such as soil conditioners and geotextiles. The book includes contributions from many European soil scientists, geographers and environmental scientists, and will interest readers in these disciplines.

Soil Conservation is a key text not only for agricultural engineers, but also for students of agriculture, forestry, geography, geology and ecology indeed all those concerned with soil erosion. This new and fully revised edition of Normal Hudson s standard work. Gives information on recent advan- ces, including the greater emphasis on sound land use and farming methods, the importance of involvi-ng the farmer at all stages; the need for low-cost, low-labour methods. Shows how research, theory and practice can be applied in the developing countries. Presents the engineering approach to soil conservation in a simple, common-sense way. The text reflects the postgraduate course in soil conservation at Silsoe College, as taught to students from over 40 different countries. The result is a teaching text which will be of use in all countries where soil conservation is a major consideration in agricultural development. After 13 years as a Conservation Officer and Researcher in Africa, Norman Hudson taught for 20 years at Silsoe College (formerly the National College of Agricultural Engineering), a Faculty of Cranfield University, and now practises as a consultant. He has Lectured at universities throughout the world, and has studied soil conservation in more than 40 different countries. He has worked as a consultant for FAO, The World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, The International Found for Agricultural Development, and aid agencies of Britain, the USA and Sweden. Professor Hudson was the 1983 recipient of the Hugh Hammond Bennett Award, the highest professional honour made by the Soil Conservation Society of America, and the President s Citation in 1989. He is a past President of the World Association of Soil and Water Conservation, founder of the International Centre for Soil Conservation Information, and Founder Chairman of the Association for Better Land Husbandry. In 1993 he was awarded the OBE for services to soil conservation.

“Principles of Soil Management and Conservation” comprehensively reviews the state-of-knowledge on soil erosion and management. It discusses in detail soil conservation topics in relation to soil productivity, environment quality, and agronomic production. It addresses the implications of soil erosion with emphasis on global hotspots and synthesizes available from developed and developing countries. It also critically reviews information on no-till management, organic farming, crop residue management for industrial uses, conservation buffers (e.g., grass buffers, agroforestry systems), and the problem of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico and in other regions. This book uniquely addresses the global issues including carbon sequestration, net emissions of CO2, and erosion as a sink or source of C under different scenarios of soil management. It also deliberates the implications of the projected global warming on soil erosion and vice versa. The concern about global food security in relation to soil erosion and strategies for confronting the remaining problems in soil management and conservation are specifically addressed. This volume is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students interested in understanding the principles of soil conservation and management. The book is also useful for practitioners, extension agents, soil conservationists, and policymakers as an important reference material.
