Description

As global populations shift toward cities, the impact on our natural environment becomes more significant. With urban populations projected to reach 66% by 2050, understanding the changes in our landscape is more important than ever. This volume from the Advances in Soil Science series explores the complex reality of urban soils and how they differ from natural environments. Urbanization causes significant changes to geological materials through human activity. This process can deplete soil carbon and aboveground biomass carbon pools, which increases the movement of carbon from the ground into the atmosphere. This book examines how urban encroachment leads to ecological and environmental challenges. Readers will gain insight into how anthropogenic activities disturb soil composition and affect its ability to produce food and maintain residential aesthetics. This text is a necessary resource for those studying the intersection of urban development and soil science, providing a deep look at how human growth reshapes the very ground we live on.
