Description
Summary:Unique because of its treatment of soil management based on principles-the physical, chemical, and biological processes and how together they form the foundation for soil management-this book pulls it all together. Whether new to soil science or needing a concise reference, readers will learn to integrate the science of soils with management issues and long-term conservation. Degradation of soils colliding with increasing climate variation will eventually create a local, regional, or even global crisis, but it's not too late if we implement our ever-expanding scientific understanding of soils.
