This collection summarises current research on the effects of different management strategies on the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils. It assesses the viability of these management strategies, including zero tillage and intercropping, as a means for improving crop yield, ecosystem productivity and soil health in general.

Assesses the viability of management strategies implemented to improve soil health, e.g. intercropping and zero tillage Provides a comprehensive coverage of the dimensions of soil health Reviews the role of organic and other amendments in improving soil health
