Description for The Red Soils of China. Their Nature, Management and Utilization.
Hardback. The red soils of China are highly weathered, inherently infertile and very susceptible to erosion. However, they represent China's last available soil resource that could be brought into agricultural production, a fact that assumes great importance in view of China's huge and still-increasing population. Editor(s): Wilson, M. J.; He, Zhenli; Yang, Xiaoe. Series: Cancer Treatment and Research. Num Pages: 400 pages, 58 black & white illustrations, 1 colour illustrations, biography.

They cannot sustain arable cropping systems without the most careful management and are highly susceptible to soil erosion, particularly on sloping land. It is the purpose of this book to present recent research showing how the problems ... Read more
