SUMMARY:The 2nd Global Conference on Sandy Soils
DESCRIPTION:There are approximately 900 million hectares of sandy soils worldwide\, particularly in arid or semi-arid regions. There are more than 22 million hectares of arable sands in southern and western Australia. These soils are often impacted by multiple constraints\, such as\, soil acidity\, hardpans and soil water repellence while also have inherently poor fertility and a limited capacity to store water and nutrients. \nThese and other challenges associated with sands require multi-faceted research skills and strategies\, diagnostic methods and management approaches to overcome. This conference will build and strengthen the international network of researchers with expertise on sandy soils. The conference theme ‘Shifting Sands to Sustainable Solutions’ is focused on the challenges of managing and protecting the natural capital of sandy soils in the face of a changing climate. \nKey aspects of the program include sessions on: \n\nClimate change and sandy landscapes\nSand distribution and formation\nMonitoring\, mapping and sensors\nSoil properties-analytical techniques\nAgricultural systems (irrigated and dryland)\nNatural systems\nEngineered systems\nSoil and water conservation\nSoil fertility\nOvercoming constraints to plant growth
