Features: The book is divided into nine chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction, which briefly elaborates on the relationship between natural resources and human development, the concept, classification, characteristics of natural resources, as well as the basic theories and methods for studying and researching agricultural natural resources. Chapters 2 to 7 are dedicated to specific discussions on agricultural natural resources, focusing on six major categories related to agricultural production: land resources, agricultural water resources, agricultural climatic resources, biological resources (including crop resources, grassland resources, forest resources, medicinal plant resources, wildlife resources), fertilizer resources, and waste resources. Each category is analyzed in terms of its fundamental characteristics, distribution patterns, evaluation principles, methods, and strategies for rational development and utilization. Chapters 8 and 9 build on the study of the six major agricultural natural resources, discussing regional agricultural natural resources, future resource development, and the sustainable utilization of agricultural resources. By treating agricultural natural resources as a whole, the book explores the two key issues of sustainable development and regional comprehensive resource development to drive integrated research on resources. This book is suitable for scientists, researchers, and administrators working in agricultural resources, environmental protection, ecology, and agronomy, as well as serving as a textbook and reference for agricultural colleges and universities.
