Excellent- More about Soils Under Stress: More Work for Soil Science in Ukraine
Dokuchaev's research in Ukraine led to the creation of trans-disciplinary environmental sciences and the concept of Earth as a living organism. This book discusses human impacts on soil cover, methods of research, and evaluation and remediation of degraded soils, drawing on the latest methods of modeling and cartography. It is invaluable to researchers and practitioners in soil science.

Dokuchaev, a renowned scientist, conducted the majority of his groundbreaking research in Ukraine. His close student and friend, Volodymyr Vernadsky, went on to establish trans-disciplinary environmental sciences and the notion of Earth as a living organism, famously embraced by James Lovelock. The spring of ideas that emerged during that time continues to thrive, and the research compiled in this volume remains highly relevant to contemporary challenges, not limited to Ukraine. Throughout history, soils have consistently faced various stressors, but in the Anthropocene, humanity holds the steering wheel. As a follow-up to Soil Science Working for a Living: Applications of soil science to present-day problems, we delve into policy considerations, soil genesis, attributes, and functions across diverse environments, both natural and man-made. We examine the human impacts on soil cover through its utilization and misuse, highlight research methodologies and assessment techniques for soil quality, and address the threats of soil degradation. The distinguished contributors also provide detailed descriptions and propose various options for evaluating and remediating degraded soils, leveraging cutting-edge modeling and cartography methods, long-term field experiments, and extensive experience. This book holds immense value for researchers and practitioners in soil science, encompassing graduate and post-graduate education, academia, and professionals.
