Soil Enzymology
Springer 2010; US$ 169.99Soil enzymes are one of the vital key mediators involved in nutrient recycling and the decomposition of organic matter and thereby in maintaining soil quality and fertility. This "Soil Biology" volume covers the various facets of soil enzymes, such as their functions, biochemical and microbiological properties and the factors affecting their... more...
Digital Soil Mapping
Springer 2010; US$ 159.99"Digital Soil Mapping" is the creation and the population of a geographically referenced soil database. It is generated at a given resolution by using field and laboratory observation methods coupled with environmental data through quantitative relationships. Digital soil mapping is advancing on different fronts at different rates all across... more...
Soils in the Urban Environment
Wiley 2009; US$ 174.95Urban areas contain a wide variety of open spaces, yet much of this has evolved under the pressures of human population with minimal management. The last 40 years have seen problems of varying severity begin to appear, including contamination, erosion, acidification and compaction. These problems have brought attention to the importance of the soil... more...
