Soils -Principles, Properties and Management Pdf Free Download

 About Book:

This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students of soil science, and agricultural, biological, and environmental sciences, who study soil as a natural resource. Professionals, including agronomists, horticulturists, gardeners, geologists, geographers, ecologists, biologists, microbiologists, and silviculturists, may find something of their interest as well.

In this text, soil processes and properties have been explained with adequate examples, tables, and figures. In order to make matters comprehensive, necessary generalization and simplification were done, though bearing the danger of over simplification of soil as a complex entity in mind.

Major Topics Covered: 

Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 of this book emphasize soil as a natural dynamic body, its origin and development, and its systematic study for a better understanding of its properties and management. Chapters 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 describe physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils in relation to plant growth. Chapter 10 addresses plant nutrients and soil fertility management. Problem soils and their management have been treated in Chap. 11. Chapter 12 reviews soil resources and soil degradation. Recent data and literature have been consulted to incorporate most recent developments in the field. This book has accommodated one chapter for wetland soils (Chap. 13 ) and another for forest soils (Chap. 14 ) unlike most fundamental soil science books. Chapter 15 emphasizes soil study in a changing climate, an issue that has attracted much attention in recent decades.
