Soils and environmental quality

the long version

"Soils and Environmental Quality, Second Edition presents an overview of basic soil science, hydrology, and the classification of pollutants. This completely revised and updated reference provides detailed discussion of the roles of soils and humans in the biogeochemical cycling of soil contaminants and substances of environmental concern. The authors examine nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, trace elements, organic chemicals, greenhouse gases, and acid precipitation in depth, and emphasize the interactions of these potential pollutants with the soil, aquatic, and atmospheric environments."--BOOK JACKET.
