Horse Pasture Management, Second Edition provides updated coverage on strategies for managing behavior, grouping, environments and feeding needs of grazing horses. Sections cover the structure, function and identification of forages, continuing into nutritional value of pasture plants. Management of soil, the function of a pasture ecosystem and management of plants in a pasture is covered next, followed by forage yield determination, horse grazing behavior, feed choices of horses, management of grazing horses, and how to calculate how many horses should be grazing relative to land size. Advantages of grazing more than one species of animal are described. Management of hay and silage are included since year-round grazing is not possible on many horse farms. Several chapters deal with interactions of a horse farm with the environment, including climate and weather and other living things. The book also covers strategies for managing manure, erosion, and water quality. It is ideal for researchers, scientists and students involved in animal science, specifically equine studies. Agriculturists, equine managers and veterinarians will also find this book useful.

Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation: Emerging Roles for the Microbiome and Epigenome offers a comprehensive overview on how our diet promotes or attenuates inflammation to regulate inflammatory diseases. Broken into five sections, this book presents an introduction to the microbiome and epigenome in nutrition, subsequently covering diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome in the development of inflammatory diseases, nutrition and the epigenome in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, diet, epigenetics, and microbiome. This book also addresses health-disparities in diet, epigenetics, and gut microbes. It will be of interest to nutrition researchers, nutritionists, and postgraduate students, as well as others working in, studying, and researching related fields.

Biochar-assisted Remediation of Contaminated Soils Under Changing Climate summarizes recent progress in understanding (a) metal-biochar interactions in soils, (b) potential risks associated with biochar amendment, and (c) the application of biochar for the remediation of HM polluted soils. In addition, research gaps and future directions in understanding biochar-metal interactions in soils is also explored. As soil contamination with heavy metals like Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Mn, Cd, Pb, and Zn is becoming a big problem across the globe, especially in developed countries, this book elucidates on risks and future directions.Globally, it has become a serious threat to human health and ecosystem integrity. applying amendments like phosphate compounds, liming materials, clay minerals, coal fly ash, organic composts, metal oxides, and biochar to heavy metals contaminated soil is considered one of the most promising in-situ remediation techniques. Biochar has become one of the most attractive research hotspots as a result of its special properties, along with its important role in climate change, global biogeochemical cycle, and environmental system.
