Soil is the most important natural non-renewable resource developed
over a longer period of time due to weathering of rocks and
subsequently enrichment of organic matter. Soil provides habitat
for numerous microorganisms and serves as a natural medium for
plant growth, thereby providing the plants with anchorage,
nutrients and water to sustain the growth. Soil also serves as a
universal sink for all types of pollutants, purifies ground water
and is a major reserve of carbon in the universe. The role of soils
to provide ecosystem services, maintenance of environmental/human
health and ensuring the food security makes it as the most
important and basic natural resource. Soil Science helps us to
elaborate and understand how the soils provide all these services.
Soil Science also provides us the basic knowledge dealing with the
origin of the soil parent material, weathering of parent material
and the formation of soils, morphological, physico-chemical and
biological features of soils, classification of soils and role of
soils in the provision and maintenance of ecosystem services, food
security and environmental quality. This book encompasses the
various processes, functions and behaviour of soils very
comprehensively to acquaint the students of soil, plant and
environmental sciences about their role to perform different
agricultural and environmental functions.
