Book review - Impact of Agriculture on Soil Degradation II, A European Perspective, Volume 121, The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry

The book "Impact of Agriculture on Soil Degradation II: A European Perspective," edited by Paulo Pereira, Miriam Muñoz-Rojas, Igor Bogunovic, and Wenwu Zhao (2022), presents a comprehensive examination of soil threats that impact the properties and functioning of agricultural soils in Europe. It is crucial for readers to understand the context of these threats, particularly by considering the definition of land degradation provided by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD): “Land degradation is the result of human-induced actions which exploit land, causing its utility, biodiversity, soil fertility, and overall health to decline.”
