This comprehensive volume brings together the concepts of soil with other basic sciences in a single source. It incorporates a wealth of detailed information on chemistry, physics, geology, and plant physiology in its examination of soil properties and soil-plant relationships. Mechanisms controlling soil, pH, weathering and soil formation processes, heat movement in soils, prediction and control of wind and water erosion and other topics are clearly illustrated in easy-to-read theoretical detail, making this a valuable guide to the science of soil.Hassett, John J. is the author of 'Soils and Their Environment', published 1991 under ISBN 9780134840499 and ISBN 0134840496.
