Resilience of the semi-arid tropical soils
Soils in the semiarid
tropics (SAT) are subject to chemical degradation mostly due to climatic reasons which make the pedoenvironment
hostile to form calcium carbonate. This triggers an overall deterioration of soil ...
ICRISAT, India soils: yesterday, today and tomorrow
Associated red and black soils are common in the Deccan
plateau and the Indian peninsula. The red soils
are formed due to the progressive landscape reduction
process and black soils due to the aggradation processes;
and ...
Land use and cropping effects on carbon in black soils of semi-arid tropical India
Soil organic carbon (SOC) and rainfall are generally
positively related, whereas a negative relationship
between soil inorganic carbon (SIC) and rainfall with
some exception is observed. Land use pattern in black
soil ...
Georeferenced soil information system: assessment of database
Landuse
planning is a decisionmaking
process that facilitates the allocation of land to different uses that provide optimal and
sustainable benefit. As landuse
is shaped by society–nature interaction, in landuse
planning ...
Soil information system: web-based solution for agricultural land-use planning
The soil-forming factors, especially climate, vegetation
and topography, act on a range of rock formations
and parent materials leading to the development of
different kinds of soils. Through concerted efforts, soil
datasets ...
Soil information system: use and potentials in humid and semi-arid tropics
The articles presented in this special section emanated from the researches of consortium members of the National Agricultural
Innovative Project (NAIP, Component 4) of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), ...
Soil and water management
Soil and water form the basis of all terrestrial life. Their resources vary widely and are affected by natural and anthropogenic
perturbations. Ancient civilizations and cultures emerged and sustained on good soils; and ...
