OverviewThis work has as its central theme the integration of all the different physical, chemical and biological aspects of the soil ecosystem. It covers all of the major aspects of the soil ecosystem, including the physico-chemical properties of soil, its nutritive resources and the organisms involved. In addition, it describes the different functional sub-systems in different soils and evaluates the relative importance of these sub-systems in different biomes. The book concludes with the application of this synthetic approach to practical problems, such as soil pollution management and restoration. Full Product DetailsAuthor: P.
