Climate Change and Soil Interactions: Drivers and Pathways for Sustainability, Second Edition delves into the critical relationship between soil systems and climate change, offering innovative research on soil carbonization, biodiversity, and vegetation. This comprehensive resource examines strategies for preserving eco-sustainability, focusing on microbial responses and soil health under changing climatic conditions. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding soil systems' physical, chemical, and biological interactions to restore soil vitality amidst climate shifts.Beyond these foundational topics, the book also discusses the latest advancements in soil improvement practices. It serves as an essential guide for agricultural, ecological, and environmental researchers, providing up-to-date information on the dynamic interplay between climate change and soil. The insights offered are vital for soil scientists and climatologists seeking to navigate and mitigate the impacts of climate change on soil interactions. - Provides updated information on climate change and interactions with the soil - Includes collaborating scientists from different continents: Asia, North America, Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Oceania - Covers technical and non-technical information, serving specialists and undergraduate and postgraduate students
