Summary: "This book talks about strategies to improve land management with the help of relevant case studies. The importance of characterizing soil properties in order to develop remediation and management strategies has also been emphasized. Introduction of new approaches for indicating soil pollution have been presented vividly in this book. It draws attention towards contemporary management of various environmental scenarios of high concern." -- Back cover
