| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study clarified the linkage among the soil forming factors such as geology (or parent material), topography and climate, the fluxes of carbon, nitrogen and mineral nutrients, and development of agricultural practices in different regions as their adaptation to such production ecological infrastructure.
The issues relating to the sustainability in the agricultural development under fluctuating climates are most closely linked with the “excess loss” of soluble components and/or soil particles from the agricultural ecosystems. They include 1) leaching loss of essential nutrients from the bottom of soils, 2) gaseous emission from soil surfaces, and 3) losses of soil particles and organic materials through soil erosion. It is indispensable to mitigate these losses by applying appropriate techniques, in order to ensure the sustainable development of agriculture.
