  • Soil Chemistryby Hinrich L. Bohn; Rick A. Myer; George A. O'Connor

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 169.95

    Comprehensive, 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...

  • Humic Substancesby E. Ghabbour; G. Davies

    Taylor & Francis 2003; US$ 145.95

  • The Biogeochemistry of Submerged Soilsby Guy Kirk

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 295.00

    Submerged 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$ 109.95

    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...

  • Geochemical and Hydrological Reactivity of Heavy Metals inby H. Magdi Selim; William L. Kingery

    CRC Press 2003; US$ 219.95

    The 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 techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and environmental electron microscopy and reveals how molecular-level modeling is used to remove metal contaminants from the environment. It is thus a practical guide for soil and groundwater scientists, ecologists, and government regulators. more...

  • Handbook of Soil Acidityby Zdenko Rengel

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2003; US$ 229.95

    Discusses 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...
