Management and development of agricultural and natural resources in Egypt's desert
Management and development of agricultural and natural resources in Egypt's desert[electronic resource] /edited by Ahmed A. Elkhouly, Abdelazim Negm. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xi, 552 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Springer water,2364-6934. - Springer water..

Introduction -- Types and distribution of calcareous soils in Egypt -- Reinventing extraction and processing of mineral resources of Egypt -- Assessment of microbial biota in Egyptian desert soil -- Sustainable soil management to mitigate soil erosion hazards in Egypt -- Sustainable Development of microbial community in Egyptian Desert soil -- Bio-fertilizers for sustainable agriculture development under salinity stress.

This book reviews the economic potential of various natural resources found in the Egyptian deserts that could help fill the food gap in Egypt, e.g., the date palm, olives, and domestic animals. Bearing in mind that the entire country is subject to arid or hyperarid climatic conditions, only a small portion (3% of total area) is agriculturally productive in comparison, the dominant deserts. These aspects, combined with a growing population (ca. 100 million citizens) and water resources scarcity, have produced severe adverse effects on natural resource utilization. This book presents innovative methods for addressing desert soil's key problems (soil erosion, salinity, pollution, decreased fertility, minerals, and weed and pest control) Its goal is to help authorities reclaim the desert and optimally utilize the minerals and the available natural resources to support the sustainability agenda 2030. Besides, it offers researchers guidance on remaining gaps and future research directions. Lastly and importantly, it provides essential information on investment opportunities in desert cultivation, such as the fields of food, fodder, and medicinal plants.
