商品描述

In a world expected to reach a population of almost 10 billion inhabitants by 2050 and facing rapid global warming, it is essential to develop studies to better characterize and preserve the existing environmental heritage. Among these assets, soil stands out, which is fundamental for the balance of life on the planet (air quality and composition, temperature regulation, carbon and nutrient cycling, water cycling and quality, natural "waste" (decomposition) treatment and recycling, and habitat for most living things and their food). Due its importance, Soil information is increasing recently in order to attend human demands for land use management and capability, reduce erosion risks and soil security, for example. Particularly in Brazil, advances in soil science are now required to attend the new national systematic soil survey that have as a goal soil sustainability and security. Gathering machine learning tools, pedometrics and pedological concepts is a way to achieve these demands regarding soil data and related products. This book summarizes remarkable insights from the II Pedometrics Brazil Conference providing cutting-edge information to researchers, students and professionals working with soils in tropical countries such as Brazil.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在預計到2050年全球人口將達到近100億的世界中,面對快速的全球暖化,開展研究以更好地描述和保護現有的環境遺產是至關重要的。在這些資產中,土壤尤為突出,因為它對地球生命的平衡至關重要(空氣質量和成分、溫度調節、碳和養分循環、水循環和質量、自然“廢物”(分解)處理和回收,以及大多數生物及其食物的棲息地)。由於其重要性,土壤資訊最近有所增加,以滿足人類對土地使用管理和能力的需求,減少侵蝕風險和土壤安全等問題。特別是在巴西,現在需要在土壤科學方面取得進展,以應對新的全國系統性土壤調查,其目標是土壤的可持續性和安全性。整合機器學習工具、土壤計量學和土壤學概念是滿足這些有關土壤數據及相關產品需求的一種方式。本書總結了第二屆巴西土壤計量學會議的卓越見解,為在巴西等熱帶國家從事土壤研究的研究人員、學生和專業人士提供了前沿資訊。
