Soil Water Measurement
Author: J. David CooperPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119106036
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This book is written for all those involved in measurement of soil water phenomena, whether they be environmental scientists, field technicians, agronomists, meteorologists, hydrogeologists, foresters, physical geographers, civil or water engineers or students in these subjects. It contains a comprehensive description of all the major methods used for measurement of soil water content and potential, solute concentration, transport and balance of water and solutes, including recharge to groundwater aquifers. The emphasis is firmly on techniques which can be applied in the field or on samples obtained from the field. The theory and practice of the workings of the main instruments and methods available is described, along with practical tips on surmounting some of the main difficulties and explanations of many commonly encountered jargon words.

Book Description
"Sodic soils cover almost a third of the total land in Australia and are represented to some extent on all continents except Antarctica. They can occur naturally, as in Australia, or may develop as a result of the removal of salts from saline soils." "Sodicity impacts adversely on many soil properties and interferes with the proper functioning of the soil and of the plants grown in it. Problems arise as a result of the deterioration in soil structure, decreased retention and availability of water, decreased nutrient availability and impaired biological activity. Sodic soils are easily eroded and this causes severe land degradation and pollution of water resources." "The management of sodic soils is often difficult and challenging. Because they are so widespread in Australia, their impact on productivity is immense." "Australian Sodic Soils: Distribution, Properties and Management brings together for the first time the results of scientific studies carried out in Australia and presented at the first national conference on Australian sodic soils."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
