    Soil and ecosystem modeling is crucial for managing and comprehending ecological processes and should be required for all studies focusing on agriculture systems, environmental management, environmental sciences, and ecology. Offering an array of modeling strategies that include applications of machine learning, deep learning, and other AI methods, the book explores and demonstrates soil, agriculture, and ecosystem modeling for fostering smart sustainable agricultural practices. The volume takes into account the mechanisms of climate change as well as the challenges and hazards related to soil health, providing insight into long-term and sophisticated sustainable agriculture, crop protection and management, soil carbon sequestration, and ecology preservation.
