As with the highly popular original, this new edition of Soil
Sampling, Preparation, and Analysis provides students with an
exceptionally clear description of the sampling and analysis
methods most commonly used in modern soil laboratories around the
world. What sets it apart as the first choice of professors is the
grounding it offers in fundamental principles, professional
protocols, and specific procedures. What makes it especially
popular with students is that it spares them from having to tote
large volumes for the sake of a page or two.
Fully revised to introduce the latest advances, the text is
lucidly illustrated with original results garnered from years of
hands-on experiments conducted by the author and his students.
In response to requests from active users of the first edition,
these new features have been added:
Three new chapters on soil and plant test methods
A focus on testing and analysis limited to edaphology, as
opposed to edaphology and pedology as a whole in the ecosystem
Information and insight reflecting the author's expertise on
electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance
Extensive revisions and expansion to include recent advances and
shifting interests in the field
Soil Sampling, Preparation, and Analysis is divided into three
sections: the first covers principles of soil sampling, sources of
errors, and variability of results; the second explains common
procedures for extraction and analysis in soil plant testing; and
the last covers instrumentation.
While Professor Tan designed and further honed the book to serve
the practical needs of students, with this volume he also provides
them with an essential reference that willcontinue to serve them
throughout their training and into their careers.
