| Tóm tắt: | The understanding of the complex interaction between soil hydrology, agricultural land use
and management is critically important for sustaining soil and water resources and agricul-
tural production. Agriculture is strongly affected by changes in soil hydrology as well as by
changes in land use and management practices. Soil Hydrology, Land Use and Agriculture:
Measurement and Modelling addresses past, present and future issues and challenges related to
the measurement and modelling of hydrological properties and processes. Soil hydrological
properties and processes vary at multiple scales – starting from the scale of a single pore, up to
the scale of a pedon, to multiple pedons and to landscape to the pedosphere scales – and are
also influenced at each of these scales by human activities, land use and management practices,
and natural or management-related perturbations. Soil hydrological properties and processes
are usually linked non-linearly, with complex interactions driven by the soil–plant–atmosphere
continuum.
This book presents some of the complex interactions between soil hydrology and land use
management changes on a watershed scale, and determines the influence of these changes on
soil, water and solute dynamics within the vadose zone. The book synthesizes information on
several existing soil hydrological models, their capabilities, theories and input requirements,
addresses the consequences of land use and management changes for agriculture and presents
research results including those from field measurements and modelling. The book also
attempts to present results on the possible impacts of climatic change on soil hydrological
processes and, to a limited degree, on its impacts on agriculture. |
