It is really becoming a challenging task for the agriculturists regarding food security for the burgeoning global population. The escalation of greenhouse gases and amplified climate system fluctuation has resulted in upsurge of extreme weather related anomalies. As a consequence, there should be a paradigm shift in planning for concerted, judicious, prudent soil management strategies alleviating climate anomalies and fostering global agricultural research perspective and soil and climate resilient agriculture for sustainable agricultural development. Management of soil fertility, Carbon sequestration, Maintenance of Global Soil Carbon pool, site specific nutrient management, crop improvement strategies encompassing nutrient bio –fortification is becoming indispensable for alleviating nutritional deficiencies and micro-nutrient malnutrition in the food chain and ensuring global food security.
Management of abiotic stresses and to evaluate the impact of stresses on crop and ecology evolving mitigation strategies by soil scientists and conservation agriculture on the backdrop of shrinking resource base, judicious planning for conservation of soil biome can ensure preserving bio-diversity, energetic in crop production and a healthy soil-plant system for sustainable food production not only for the present generations but also for the posterity.
Heavy metal contamination in soil and agro-ecosystem that pose a potential threat need to be addressed with recent advances in research of phytoremediation, microbial remediation, Cation interaction, soil washing and other related relevant aspects. The persistence of pesticides in soil and crop residues is a global concern that needs special attention from soil scientists for immediate remedial measures through scientific intervention. Reclamation of soil with major problems that contribute to a sizeable portion of the world needs to be reclaimed by the recent advances in research on soil Sciences.
Application of Nano-technology, Digital Soil Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), soil management for organic farming and sustainable Agriculture, precision Agriculture are the emergent issues of recent advancement on research priority of Soil Science.
The book entitled “Fundamentals of Soil Sciences and Recent Advances” has been planned as a treatise and compiled handbook to reach the scientists, academicians, Policy makers, Faculties and students of State Agriculture Universities, Central Agriculture Universities, ICAR Institutes and even for the aspirants who are preparing for the competitive examinations like UPSC Civil Services, State Public Service Commission, JRF, SRF, ICAR- NET, ARS, ICAR-NTA and other related competitive examinations.
The Chapters within the book have highlighted both the basic fundamental principles of soil sciences as well as cutting edge research and plethora of information on recent developments of soil Sciences and future vision and mission under the domain of research on Soil Sciences.
