  • Soil Organic Matter in Sustainable Agricultureby Fred Magdoff; Ray R. Weil

    CRC Press 2004; US$ 109.95

    Soil 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...

  • Humic Matter in Soil and the Environmentby Kim H. Tan

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2003; US$ 129.95

    This 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...

  • Sustainable Soilsby Benjamin Wolf; George H. Snyder

    Haworth Press 2003; US$ 69.95

    This book, written by soil scientists with decades of practical experience, shows the importance of organic matter in maintaining crop production. The addition of organic matter to soil is covered in great detail. Sustainable Soils: The Place of Organic Matter in Sustaining Soils and Their Productivity discusses what materials can be added, proper handling, how much is enough (and how much is too much!), the nutritive value of various forms of organic matter, and the benefits that can be expected. more...

  • Sustainable Management of Soil Organic Matterby R.M. Rees; B. Ball; C. Watson; C. Campbell

    CAB International 2000; US$ 170.00

    This volume contains papers from an international conference held by the British Society of Soil Science in Edinburgh in September 1999. It includes exploration of the results of recent research studies examining how organic matter functions in soils. more...

  • Compostby Kenneth Thompson

    Dorling Kindersley 2007; US$ 18.00

    A 192-page illustrated practical book with gift appeal on compost - what it is, how to make it and how to use it in the garden. Aimed at those new to the subject as well as keen recyclers. more...

  • Humic Substances in Terrestrial Ecosystemsby A. Piccolo

    Elsevier 1996; US$ 435.00

    This book highlights the increasing importance of humic substances in the different scientific fields related to terrestrial ecology, soil quality conservation, and environmental chemistry. It shows that modern humic substances research is not only directed to unravel their yet ill-defined chemical structure but is successfully exploring the interconnected chemical, biological, and physical processes that maintain the ecological equilibrium of soil and ensure a sustainable agricultural production. The book will primarily be of interest to soil scientists and to ecological and environmental scientists. People in the fields of forest science, agronomy, analytical and environmental chemistry, water science, environmental engineering, and coal... more...

  • Chemistry of Soil Organic Matterby K. Kumada

    Elsevier 1988; US$ 270.00

    Despite the large number of papers and books published on soil organic matter (humus), our knowledge of the subject is still very limited, as is our knowledge of humic acid. The author of this book began to study humus at the end of the 1940s and continued until 1984 when he retired from Nagoya University. With the intention of establishing a systematic understanding of soil organic matter, he has compiled facts and a discussion of humus based on his extensive experimental results during the past 40 years. In this book, humic acids are classified into A, B, Rp and P types, based on their optical properties. The elementary composition and other chemical properties of humic acid types are shown to be regularly different from each other. ... more...
