The Soils of Libya
The Soils of Libya[electronic resource] /edited by Hamdi A. Zurqani. - 1st ed. 2021. - XIV, 134 p. 94 illus., 89 illus. in color.online resource. - World Soils Book Series,2211-1263. - World Soils Book Series,.

Chapter 1. Introduction (Hamdi A. Zurqani) -- Chapter 2. The history of soil mapping and research (Mukhtar. M. Elaalem) -- Chapter 3. Soil Forming Factors and Processes (Khaled R. Ben Mahmoud) -- Chapter 4. Soil Classification and Properties (Mukhtar. M. Elaalem) -- Chapter 5. Major Limiting Factors Affecting Agricultural Use and Production (Bashir A. Nwer) -- Chapter 6. Land Cover Land Use and the Vegetation Distribution (Hamdi A. Zurqani) -- Chapter 7. Soil Microbiology and Biotechnology (Eman Ali Ferjani) -- Chapter 8. Land Degradation and Desertification (Bashir A. Nwer).

This book presents the soil pedodiversity in Libya. Soils are the source of all life; there can be no life without them. Further, each soil has its own history and its present conditions, which have been shaped by many different factors (e.g. climate, biota, parent material, and relief or topography). The book, divided into eight chapters, provides extensive information on Libyan soils. Chapter one provides an introduction and a broad perspective of the subject, while Chapter two covers the history of soil mapping and research in Libya. Chapter three focuses on local factors of soil formation and describes the geology and climate of the region to explain the diversity of its soils. Chapter four discusses soil classification systems and those most commonly used in the country. The fifth chapter illustrates the constraints and limiting factors that negatively affect agricultural activities across the country. The land cover/land use and the vegetation of the country are described in Chapter six. In turn, Chapter seven presents the status quo of soil biology, the corresponding related research activities, and the other biological properties of Libyan soils. The final chapter (Chapter eight) focus on land degradation and desertification in Libya, emphasizing the main causes, impacts of the phenomena, and efforts to combat it. This book demonstrates the problems that the country is currently facing as a result of climate change, soil erosion, salinization, and pollution, and outlines potential remedies to improve local food security. Bringing together the perspectives and expertise of many distinguished scientists from various universities and institutions in and outside of Libya, the book represents a unique and highly valuable resource. .
