Book Description
The Encyclopedia of Soil Science provides a comprehensive, alphabetical treatment of basic soil science in a single volume. It constitutes a wide ranging and authorative collection of some 160 academic articles covering the salient aspects of soil physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, technology, genesis, morphology, classification and geomorphology. With increased usage of soil for world food production, building materials, and waste repositories, demand has grown for a better global understanding of soil and its processes. longer articles by leading authorities from around the world are supplemented by some 430 definitions of common terms in soil sciences.
A Handbook of Soil Terminology, Correlation and Classification
Author: Pavel KrasilnikovPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136546634
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Soil classification and terminology are fundamental issues for the clear understanding and communication of the subject. However, while there are many national soil classification systems, these do not directly correlate with each other. This leads to confusion and great difficulty in undertaking comparative scientific research that draws on more than one system and in making sense of international scientific papers using a system that is unfamiliar to the reader. This book aims to clarify this position by describing and comparing different systems and evaluating them in the context of the World Reference Base (WRB) for Soil Resources. The latter was set up to resolve these problems by creating an international 'umbrella' system for soil correlation. All soil scientists should then classify soils using the WRB as well as their national systems. The book is a definitive and essential reference work for all students studying soils as part of life, earth or environmental sciences, as well as professional soil scientists.

Book Description
Aimed at taking the mystery out of soil science, Soils: Principles, Properties and Management is a text for undergraduate/graduate students who study soil as a natural resource. Written in a reader-friendly style, with a host of examples, figures and tables, the book leads the reader from the basics of soil science through to complex situations, covering such topics as: the origin, development and classification of soil physical, chemical and biological properties of soil water and nutrient management management of problem soils, wetland soils and forest soils soil degradation Further, the ecological and agrological functions of soil are emphasized in the context of food security, biodiversity and climate change. The interactions between the environment and soil management are highlighted. Soil is viewed as an ecosystem itself and as a part of larger terrestrial ecosystems.

Book Description
Mycotechnology has a crucial role to play in the 21st century. Fungi are bioprotectors, bioremediators, bio-fertilizers, drug-producers and involved in everyday life. Mycotechnology: Present Status and Future Prospects includes current and rare topics on mycotechnology, such as, molecular techniques (for analysis of soil fungi, diagnosis of ochratoxin-A producing fungi, identification of ectomycorrhizal fungi), SPPADBASE, bioactive sesquiterpenes, mycological applications of Raman spectroscopy, etc. Key Features " Discusses latest developments in mycotechnology. " Provides new techniques and innovative ideas in fungal biotechnology. " Addresses molecular diagnosis of mycotoxins, soil microbes and ectomycorrhizal fungi. " Includes role of type culture collection in mycological research and applications, e.g. drug discovery from fungi. " Deals with the role of fungal chitinases. " Focuses on strategic role of AMF in agroecosystem and disease control. " Contains database of PCR primers for phytopathogenic fungi. This book is essential reading for mycologists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, botanists, agronomists, physicists, biochemists.
