Advances in Soil Survey - Linking Soils, Landscapes, and Agribusiness for Sustainability

Advances in Soil Survey: Linking Soils, Landscapes, and Agribusiness for Sustainability presents a comprehensive overview of soil science evolution in India, integrating traditional pedology with modern digital approaches. The book explores soil-forming processes, diagnostic horizons, and global classification systems while emphasizing high-resolution soil mapping and agroecological zoning. It highlights the use of landscape ecological units, GIS, and remote sensing for precise land-use planning and sustainable resource management. Covering applications in crop zoning, agribusiness models, and climate-resilient land management, it bridges science and practice. The work serves as a valuable guide for researchers, planners, and policymakers working toward sustainable agriculture and land development.
