Essential soil science: a clear and concise introduction to soil science

By: Ashman, M. R | Puri, GPublication details: Oxford : Blackwell Science, 2002ISBN: 0632048859Subject(s): Soil science | Soil science: soil classification, soil chemistry, soil biology, soil surveys, land use surveys | Peat | Plant-soil relations | Soil acidity | Soil analysis | Soil biotechnology | Soil chemistry | Soil classification | Soil contamination | Soil contamination by radioactivity | Soil degradation | Soil erosion | Soil fertilityDDC classification: 631.4 Summary: This textbook is aimed at students who need to acquire a clear and concise overview of soil science quickly. Many current soil science textbooks still cater for a traditional student market where students embark on three years of study in a narrow discipline. However, the growth in modular degree schemes has meant that soil science is now often taught as a self-standing unit as part of a broad-based degree course. Students pursuing this type of course are increasingly reluctant to purchase expensive textbooks that are too detailed and often assume a scientific background. This short informative guide will be particularly useful for students who do not possess a traditional scientific background, such as those studying geography, environmental science, ecology and agriculture, who want to quickly understand both the underlying principles and practical management aspects of soil science.
