Soil-Water-Solute Process Characterization
CRC Press 2004; US$ 239.95Beyond mere technical guidance, this book addresses the limitations of soil characterization methods and advises on alternatives. A holistic text, it considers complicating factors and methods of monitoring and modelling mass transfer processes. more...
Soils for Fine Wines
Oxford University Press 2006; US$ 109.99White (soil science, U. of Melbourne) provides basic information on soil properties and behaviors in the contexts of site selection for new vineyards, and demands placed on soils by wine production. The highly-technical reference focuses on the French concept of terroir , which can be interpreted as the interaction between soil and surrounding fact more...
Organic Phosphorus in the Environment
CABI 2005; US$ 140.00Organic phosphorus is involved in almost every biological process and is essential for life. However, the role of organic phosphorus and mechanisms for its dynamics has been poorly understood. more...
Functional Approach to Nonlinear Models of Water Flow in Soils
Springer 2006; US$ 94.99A work of applied mathematics, which focuses on the functional study of the nonlinear boundary value problems relating to water flow in porous media. This volume deals with diffusion type models and emphasizes the mathematical treatment of their nonlinear aspects. more...
Microbial Phosphate Solubilization

Biology of Soil Science
Oxford Book Co. 2009; US$ 50.00Biology of Soil Science is an important branch of agriculture which deals with studies of different areas like soil physics; soil chemistry; soil fertility and plant nutrition; soil survey, genesis and classification, soil mineralogy, etc. it is, therefore, essential that this valuable natural resource is understood and conserved properly for sustained... more...
Recommendations for Design and Analysis of Earth Structures using Geosynthetic Reinforcements - EBGEO
Wiley 2012; US$ 120.00The completely revised and extended Recommendations deal with all questions relevant to the planning and dimensioning of geosynthetics-reinforced earth structures. In addition to the demands on materials and analysis principles, the applications of geosynthetics in a range of foundation systems, ground improvement measures, highways engineering projects,... more...
Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Soils
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99This compilation of techniques, methodologies and scientific data arises from a four-year Italian research project, which took place at university research stations in Turin, Piacenza, Naples and Potenza. Soil Organic Matter (SOM) represents an active and essential pool of the total organic carbon on the planet. Consequently, even small changes in... more...
