US$ 65.95 (+ tax)
Lying at the interface of the geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere, soils are of major importance to an understanding of those affected by human activity. They will continue to play an important role in safeguarding our future environment.
Soils and Environment examines the ways in which soils are both influenced by, and themselves influence, the environment. Assuming minimal scientific knowledge, the book analyses the properties, processes and classification of soils, before discussing soils within the context of environmental history, and as key components of natural environmental systems. Soil-human interactions are then examined in relation to landuse systems, environmental problems and management, soils survey and land evaluation. Soils and Environment offers readers a broad and balanced understanding across a spectrum of environmentally-related subjects.
