Description Not Available
The articles presented in this special section emanated
from the researches of consortium members of the
National Agricultural Innovative Project (NAIP,
Component 4) of the Indian Council of Agricultural
Research (ICAR), New Delhi. These researches have
helped develop a soil information system (SIS). In
view of the changing scenario all over the world, the
need of the hour is to get assistance from a host of researchers
specialized in soils, crops, geology, geography
and information technology to make proper use of
the datasets. Equipped with the essential knowledge of
data storage and retrieval for management recommendations,
these experts should be able to address
the issues of land degradation, biodiversity, food security,
climate change and ultimately arrive at an appropriate
agricultural land-use planning. Moreover, as
the natural resource information is an essential prerequisite
for monitoring and predicting global environmental
change with special reference to climate
and land use options, the SIS needs to be a dynamic
exercise to accommodate temporal datasets, so that subsequently
it should result in the evolution of the soil information
technology. The database developed through
this NAIP would serve as an example of the usefulness
of the Consortium and the research initiative of ICAR
involving experts from different fields to find out the
potentials of the soils of humid and semi-arid bioclimatic
systems of the country.
