Description: "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.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 707-756) and index.
