Environmental soil physics

the long version

"Environmental Soil Physics defines and describes the dynamic cycles of energy, water, solids, solutes, mineral, gases, and living organisms in the soil. It is self-contained and self-explanatory, with numerous illustrations and sample problems, up-to-date references, and relevance to real-world conditions." "Key Features: explores the wide range of interactions among the phases in the soil and the dynamic interconnections of the soil with the subterranean and atmospheric domains; draws attention to historical and contemporary issues concerning the human management of soil and water resources; directs readers toward solution of practical problems in terrestrial ecology, field-scale hydrology, agronomy, and civil engineering; and incorporates contributions by leading scientists in the areas of spatial variability, soil remediation, and the inclusion of land-surface processes in global climate models."--Jacket.
