This 2006 book was born as an international tribute to Fiorenzo C.
Ugolini, an outstanding soil scientist, now retired from university
teaching and research. It is a synthesis of the knowledge of soils,
their genesis, functions and management, and includes contributions
from leading soil scientists. It provides the basic concepts as
well as data and practical examples from across the discipline. The
book also discusses the increasingly important role of soils in
enabling the preservation of life and contains a rare attempt to
cross-harmonize the Soil Groups of the World Reference Base of Soil
Resources with the Orders of the Soil Taxonomy. It also considers
the possible existence of extraterrestrial soils based on the
findings from the last space missions. This volume will be a
valuable resource for researchers and students of soil science,
soil conservation, geography and landscape ecology.
