Soils of South Africa is the first book in seventy years that
provides a comprehensive account of South African soils. The book
arranges more than seventy soil forms into fourteen groups and then
provides, for each group: * maps showing their distribution and
abundance throughout South Africa * descriptions of morphological,
chemical and physical properties * a detailed account of
classification and its correlation with international systems * a
discussion of soil genesis which includes a review of relevant
research papers * appraisal of soil quality from a land use
perspective as well as for its ecological significance *
illustrative examples of soil profiles with analytical data and
accompanying interpretations. There is also a fascinating account
of the special relationship that exists between South African
animals and soil environments. Soils of South Africa should
interest students and researchers in the earth, environmental and
biological sciences, as well as environmental practitioners,
farmers, foresters and civil engineers.
