The Biological Properties of East Anglian Agricultural Soils

It is an impressive work of the rich English agriculture routed on culture dating back to over 8400 years of English History. The East Anglian Region of England encompass the Norfolk and Writtle Counties that are exceptional in the agricultural revolution of England. They are major bedrock of successes of English agriculture. Infact the first fertilizer and mechanisation trial in English agriculture was in these regions of England. The agriculture in these regions particularly Writtle College as a model were x-rayed in this book. Their land management practices were explored and subjected to scientific investigations that covered monitoring of biological properties that are vital for soil health namely: ecosystem and soil microbial respiration enzyme activities namely urease phosphomonoesterase urease humic acid quality and quantity organic carbon/matter total nitrogen available phosphorus exchangeable bases base saturation exchange acidity and modeling of carbon sequestration and microbial respiration/forecasting 2055.
