Vertisols in the tropics occur in a range of climates and are used in a range of production
systems. This review is a synthesis of the recent developments in pedology of vertisols …

Derived from a wide range of rocks and minerals, a large variety of soils occur in the Indian
subcontinent. Soil-forming factors like climate, vegetation and topography acting for varying …

The Indo-Gangetic Alluvial Plains (IGP) is among the most extensive fluvial plains of the
world and cover several states of the northern, central and eastern parts of India. The IGP …

Bound by the Himalaya in the north and the Craton in the south, the Indo-Gangetic Plains
(IGP) is one of the largest fluvial plains of the world. The IGP is monotonously flat with a …

Sustaining soil and land quality under intensive land use and fast economic development is
a major challenge for improving crop productivity in the developing world. Assessment of …

This study documents the coupling of provenance and climate change over the last 100ka
manifested in clay mineralogy of sediments from two cores (~ 50m deep) in the Ganga …

The study of soil–landscape relationships at a detailed scale (1: 10 000) and its use for soil
management was less common in developing countries. The study was conducted in …

Selenium biofortification of crops is a proven technology for improving dietary nutrition. This
study used isotopically labelled selenate (> 99% enriched 77 Se) to assess uptake and Se …

Micromorphology has important application in earth surface process and landform studies
particularly in alluvial settings such as the Indo‐Gangetic Plains (IGP) with different …

Calcium-rich zeolites control naturally occurring chemical degradation in the black soils
