The book addresses critical issues such as whether humanity can feed itself, and whether it can do so in environmentally sound and sustainable ways. Written from agronomic, environmental, and ecological standpoints, the textbook employs a multidisciplinary approach, including policymaking and plant genetic improvements, as well as ecosystem services, climate change, biodiversity, sustainability and resilience. New chapters in this second edition focus on organic carbon in soil, soil biology, soils in relation to livestock production and forestry, and agroforestry. The new edition will again be the go-to textbook for courses on tropical soils, and a reference textbook for soil and agricultural scientists and development professionals working in the tropics.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Provides a practical perspective for properties and management of soil<\/li>\n<li>Highlights advances in research of tropical soils, bringing the topic completely up to date<\/li>\n<li>Relates tropical soil science with the main challenges of sustainability and feeding the population<\/li>\n<li>Pedro A.
