One Line Description
A compelling state-of-the-art book on soil chemistry

Audience
It is an excellent reference guide for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in the fields of environmental science, earth science, soil chemistry, and agroecology.

Description
Soil chemistry refers to the chemical reactions in soils that affect the growth and nutrition of plants. Applied soil chemistry is an interdisciplinary field covering soil, water, plants and atmosphere, which impacts plant, animal and human health. Water and nutrients are provided in different types of soil that are home to microorganisms and many other creatures and plants. The properties of these soils affect the crop production of agricultural fields; therefore, this discipline provides support to the sustainable agricultural management of soils.
State-of-the-art information regarding applied soil sciences is explored in this book. In addition to the fundamentals of soil chemistry, model concepts, principles, chemical reactions, functions, chemical recycling, chemical weathering, acid-base chemistry, carbon sequestration, and nutrient availability of soils are highlighted. Also included among the topics are the chemistry of heavy metals in soil environments, ion-exchange processes on clay, along with relevant analytical tools and applications.
