Land-use change impacts on soil processes : tropical and savannah ecosystems

This book examines the effects that land-use changes (notably agricultural intensification, logging, soil erosion, urbanization and mining) have on soil characteristics and processes in tropical and savannah environments. As impacts of land-use change are often site specific, the book covers a range of geographical regions and environments. The effects of land-use change on various aspects of the soil ecosystem from both a chemical and biological perspective will be examined.
