This concept is developed in the first two chapters and is built on throughout the book. Chapters 3 through 7 explore soil physical properties and water, with expanded coverage of tillage and traffic and an increased emphasis on water and wind erosion processes. Chapters 8 through 11 discuss the biological aspects of soils as well as their mineralogical and chemical properties. In Chapters 12 through 15, the general area of soil fertility and fertilizer use is covered. Other chapters examine soil genesis, taxonomy, geography, land use and soil survey, and land use interpretations. Finally in chapter 20, the importance of nonagronomic factors in the food population problem are discussed. Both English and metric units are used for crop yields, new figures and tables are included, summary statements are given at the end of the more difficult sections and at the end of each chapter, and non-agricultural examples and several computer applications are provided for reference.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSoil as a Medium for Plant Growth.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil as a Natural Body.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Physical Properties.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tillage and Traffic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Water.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Water Management.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Erosion.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Ecology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Organic Matter.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Mineralogy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Chemistry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Plant-Soil Macronutrient Relations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Micronutrients and Toxic Elements.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fertilizers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Fertility Evaluation and Fertilizer Use.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Genesis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Taxonomy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Geography and Land Use.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soil Surveys and Land-Use Interpretations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Land and the World Food Supply.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Glossary.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Agriculture \u0026amp; farming [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Agriculture \u0026amp; farming\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Agriculture%20\u0026amp;%20farming%20%5BTV%5D%22\"\u003eTV\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52293502927128,"sku":"9780471522799","price":179.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471522799.jpg?v=1781642722","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/fundamentals-of-soil-science-paperback-softback-9780471522799","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
