Full Description
This contributed volume focuses on utilizing biomass for the restoration of stressed lands. The book offers remedies, mechanisms and detailed plan of land restoration covered through 20 chapters which have been contributed by soil experts. Also highlighted are innovative methods such as phyto-management of stressed lands through valuable plants and the use of agroforestry crops to conserve nature with a special focus on generation of ecosystem services. As stressed lands continue to increase over the world, land security is one of the important concerns for the future sustainability of humans. Its restoration and management are critical issues to protect and preserve the land quality and functions. This will help in regaining biodiversity and ecosystem services and thereby help attain UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
This book equips research scholars, agriculturists, environmentalists, practitioners, ecological scientists, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders with information needed to restore stressed lands.
