Soils and Landscape Restoration provides a multi-disciplinary synthesis of the sustainable management and restoration of soils in various landscapes. This book presents applicable knowledge of above- and below-ground interactions and biome specific realizations along with in-depth investigation of particular soil degradation pathways. The book focuses on severely degraded soils (e.g., eroded, salinized, mined) and well as restoration of wetlands, grasslands, and forests. Soils and Landscape Restoration addresses the need to bring current perspectives towards land degradation and restoration in soil science and restoration ecology together to better incorporate soil-based information when restoration plans are formulated, to anticipate the effects of restoration treatments on soil processes, and to monitor soil health.
