Elements of the Nature and Properties of Soils

About this book

Soil are vital, fragile, finite natural resources that are essential for the sustained production of food and fiber. Good physical and chemical properties supply the right environment and sufficient nutrients to the organisms for optimal biological activity. This in turn improves the physical and chemical properties through improved soil structure and nutrient cycling. This book is divided into twelve chapters which mainly cover introduction, properties of soil, essential plant nutrients, soil horizon development and layers, horizons and characteristics diagnostic for mineral soils, organic soil materials, weathering of rocks and minerals, classification of soils and soil farming processes.This book would be highly useful for students, teachers and researchers of soil science, agricultural chemistry, agronomy, geology, ecology, microbiology and environmental sciences.
