This book covers the main effects of agriculture practices on soil degradation in several countries from Africa, America, Asia, and Oceania, and it elucidates the impact of chemical agents on soil quality, namely, the use of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, soil acidification and microplastics pollution. In these continents, a large number of the population depend on agriculture, which sets an enormous pressure on the ecosystems. Divided into 13 chapters, the book offers authoritative contributions about the fundamental soil degradation problems in countries such as Argentina, Australia, Peru and Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, India, Israel, Kenya, Mexico, South Africa, the United States of America. As soil degradation issues are often linked with biodiversity loss and poverty, readers will also find in this book an important discussion of the different social, economic, political, and environmental aspects contributing to soil quality and sustainable management. Given the breadth and depth of its coverage, the book offers an invaluable source of information for researchers, students, environmental managers and policymakers alike. 410 0$aThe Handbook of Environmental Chemistry,$x1616-864X ;$v120 606 $aEnvironmental chemistry 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aSoil science 606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aEnvironmental Chemistry 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aSoil Science 606 $aIntegrated Geography 606 $aEnvironmental Management 606 $aEnvironmental Monitoring 610 $aAgriculture 610 $aTechnology & Engineering 615 0$aEnvironmental chemistry. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 14$aEnvironmental Chemistry. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aSoil Science. 615 24$aIntegrated Geography. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aEnvironmental Monitoring. 676 $a333.73137 702 $aPereira$b Paulo 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910733711203321 996 $aImpact of Agriculture on Soil Degradation I$93566466 997 $aUNINA
