Reihe: Developments in Environmental Science

Sustainable Soil Management: Bridging the Sustainable Development Goals addresses the issue of sustainable soil management and its connection to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It presents a range of strategies, policies, and implementation approaches for sustainable soil management, drawing on examples from around the world. In addition to sustainable soil management practices, the book also covers the dynamics of soil health, the role of soil organic matter, and the integration of agroecology and biodiversity in enhancing food security and environmental sustainability.

By examining the interconnectedness of soil with key SDGs—such as zero hunger, clean water, and climate action—this book provides a roadmap for addressing global challenges.

Kader, Shuraik
Shuraik Kader is an Associate Lecturer in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Griffith University, Australia. His research focuses on environmental engineering, the built environment, soil science, green infrastructure, natural hazards, agronomy, hydrology, and climate-resilient urban design. He received two competitive seed grants at Griffith University for green infrastructure research and for working with Australian industries to design recycled waste substrates for Trees on Buildings, focusing on the Brisbane 2032 Olympics precincts. He collaborates with Australian and international researchers to investigate the region’s needs for climate resilience, soil and water conservation, bioclimatic shifts, and sustainable infrastructure. Since 2022, after completing his undergraduate degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering, he has published over 60 journal articles and 4 book chapters. He has also delivered a keynote lecture on his PhD research on the design of recycled waste substrates for Trees on Buildings at the 8th Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (Aveiro, Portugal).

He serves as an Associate Editor for Earth Systems and Environment (Section - Sustainable management of Earth’s renewable/non-renewable resources). He has also guest-edited one special issue on Advances in Landslide Disasters. In addition to his research, Shuraik teaches courses on hydrology, fluid mechanics, groundwater and soil contamination, research methods, and civil engineering design projects at Griffith University. Shuraik has also guest-lectured at Northumbria University (UK) and the University of Sfax (Tunisia).
