Soils and Environment
Routledge 1995; US$ 65.95Analyses the properties, processes and classification of soils, their environmental history, soil-human interactions and the future. A broad and balanced book covering a wide spectrum of environmentally-related subjects. more...
The Biogeochemistry of Submerged Soils
Wiley 2004; US$ 310.00Submerged soils and the wetlands they support are of huge practical importance: in global element cycles, as centres of biodiversity, in global food production. They are also uniquely interesting scientifically because of their peculiar biogeochemistry and the adaptations of plants and microbes to it. This book describes the physical, chemical and... more...
Soil and Water Chemistry: An Integrative Approach
CRC Press 2003; US$ 69.95Written with the needs of students, researchers, and practitioners in mind, this book provides a comprehensive treatment of the composition and chemical properties of soils and of the processes that govern their fate in the environment. Topics include: clay mineralogy, soil organic matter, mineral weathering and stability, aqueous speciation, surface... more...
Soil Organic Matter in Sustainable Agriculture
CRC Press 2004; US$ 115.95Soil Organic Matter in Sustainable Agriculture gathers key scientific reviews concerning issues that are critical for successful SOM management. This book contains evaluations of the types of organic soil constituents-organisms, fresh residues, biologically active compounds and humic substances. It explores how organic matter benefits the function... more...
Scaling Methods in Soil Physics
CRC Press 2003; US$ 179.95The scaling issue-the representation of processes at a scale different from the one at which observations and property measurements are made-remains the single largest problem in soil science and hydrology. Scaling Methods in Soil Physics covers many methods of scaling that should be useful to scientists across a range of soil-related disciplines.... more...
Geochemical and Hydrological Reactivity of Heavy Metals in
CRC Press 2003; US$ 259.95The hydrological and geochemical interactions between clay minerals and organic matter in soils directly influence the reaction, behavior, and mobility of heavy metals in soils. Geochemical and Hydrological Reactivity of Heavy Metals in Soils is one of few books that comprehensively illustrates this cause-and-effect relationship. It highlights analytical... more...
Handbook of Soil Acidity
Marcel Dekker Inc 2003; US$ 269.95Discusses the control, management and reduction of soil acidification in various agricultural systems. The text presents strategies to modify and adjust crop production processes to decrease the toxicity of soil contaminants, balance soil pH, improve nutrient uptake and increase yield. more...
Humic Matter in Soil and the Environment
Marcel Dekker Inc 2003; US$ 149.95This text defines and explores the genesis, extraction, properties, and impact of humic matter on agriculture, industry, and the environment. It examines issues associated with produced and natural humic compounds - assessing the role of humic substances in industrial and pharmaceutical operations. more...
Soils, Land and Food
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 48.00A major challenge of the twenty-first century will be to ensure sufficient global food production to cope with the ever-increasing world population. Soils, Land and Food is aimed at undergraduates, graduates, agricultural scientists and policy makers and describes how technological approaches to soil management can increase and sustain food production. more...
The Canadian System of Soil Classification: Third Edition
NRC Research Press 1998; US$ 39.95This revised publication replaces The Canadian System of Soil Classification (second edition) published in 1987. The changes incorporated in this current publication are based on the work of the Soil Classification Working Group (SCWG) formerly of the Expert Committee on Soil Survey, and continued by the Land Resource Division of the former Centre... more...
