Soil Science

Providing a comprehensive overview of soil-landscape interaction, this book presents the latest methodological developments in soil-landscape modeling. It analyzes many recently developed measurement tools, and explains computer-related and pedometric techniques that are invaluable in the modeling p..

This volume presents the work of postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers on unsaturated soil mechanincs. Topics covered include: innovative experimental techniques; new experimental data on compacted, collapsible and swelling soils; and advances.....

Fate and Prediction of Environmental Chemicals in Soils, Plants, and Aquatic Systems focuses on the chemical persistence and ecotoxicological behavior of pesticides in soil, water, and plants...

Field Studies of Radon in Rocks, Soils, and Water..

Geoenvironmental Engineering: Contaminated Soils, Pollutant Fate, and Mitigation focuses on why soils and sediments remain contaminated. The reader will understand why specific contaminants remain in soils and sediments, how much of a threat they pose to human health and the environment, and what st..

Conventional solutions to ecosystem loss are far too small to make a meaningful difference. The large-scale restoration of damaged ecosystems is essential if the climate is to be stabilized. This book covers innovative new technologies for restoring the most productive ecosystems on land while maint..

This first-of-its-kind handbook provides in-depth coverage of all major microbial biofertilizers (rhizobia, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and cyanobacteria), as well as new and emerging growth promoters (endophytes). It examines the role of microbes in growth promotion, bioprotectors, and bioremidia..

Handbook of Soil Acidity..

The sections in this handbook series reflect the input of different editors and advisory boards, and as a consequence, there is considerable variation in both the depth and coverage offered within a given area...

Through field surveys, comparative records, a skillful eye for subtle landscape features, and a geographer’s interdisciplinary understanding of landscape processes, this volume uses maps, diagrams, and photographs to illustrate how an initially simple alteration of land cover can set off a train of ..
