This book approaches the soil erosion theme, concentrated on agriculture world.

The book deals with several aspects of soil erosion, focusing on its connection with the agricultural world.
Chapters’ topics are various, ranging from irrigation practices to soil nutrient, land use changes or tillage methodologies.
