Scheffer/Schachtschabel Soil Science (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783642309410)

The soils are fundamental to our existence, delivering water and nutrients to plants, that feed us. But they are in many ways in danger and their conservation is therefore a most important focus for science, governments and society as a whole.

A team of world recognised researchers have prepared this first English edition based on the 16th European edition.

- The precursors and the processes of soil development

- Nutrients and Pollutants
- The various soil classifications with the main focus on the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB)

Whoever works with soils needs this book.
