Soil Chemistryby Hinrich L. Bohn; Rick A. Myer; George A. O'Connor
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 164.95Comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the basics of soil chemistry Although only a meter in depth over the earth's surface, soil is key to sustaining life-affecting air and water quality, the growth of plants and crops, and the health of the entire planet. The complex interplay among organic and inorganic solids, air, water, microorganisms, and plant roots in soil is the subject of Soil Chemistry , a reference pivotal to understanding soil processes and problems. Thoroughly reorganized for ease of use, this updated Third Edition of Soil Chemistry summarizes the important research and fundamental knowledge in the field in a single, readily usable text, including: Soil-ion interactions Biogeological cycles and pollution Water and soil... more...

The Biogeochemistry of Submerged Soilsby Guy Kirk
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 260.00Submerged 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 biological processes operating in submerged soils and governing their properties. It describes the transport processes controlling the fluxes of gases and solutes through the soil; the interchange of solutes between solid, liquid and gas phases; reduction and oxidation processes; biological processes in the soil and overlying water; and processes in the roots and rhizospheres of wetland plants. The... more...
Soil Organic Matter in Sustainable Agricultureby Fred Magdoff; Ray R. Weil
CRC Press 2004; US$ 109.95Soil 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 of soils in agroecosystems and practices that enhance SOM. Chapters include impacts of crop management practices on soil organisms, organic matter gains and losses, the significance of various SOM fractions, the contributions of fungi and earthworms to soil quality and crop growth, and the development of soils suppressive to plant diseases and pests. more...
Soils, Land and Foodby Alan Wild
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...
