The second edition of a bestseller, Soil and Water Chemistry: An
Integrative Approach maintains the balanced perspective that made
the first edition a hugely popular textbook. The second edition
includes new figures and tables, new chapters, and expanded
exercises in each chapter. It covers topics including soil chemical
environment, soil minerals, soil organic matter, cation exchange,
oxidation-reduction, mineral weathering and solubility, surface
chemistry and adsorption reactions, acidity and salinity in soil
materials, and chemical thermodynamics applied to soil systems. See
What's New in the Second Edition: Extensive section that details
the sources, speciation, and the general behavior of elements in
soils Expanded section on crystal structure, updated
phyllosillcates classifications scheme, inclusion of
sepiolite-palygorskite group, and expanded x-ray diffraction
section Discussion of surface runoff losses of phosphorus from soil
and description of the inductivity coupled argon plasma-mass
spectroscopy (ICP-MS) analytical technique for determining
elemental concentrations in soil solution Coverage of the influence
of redox processes on the soil chemistry of nonelectroactive
elements Description of the electrokinetic phenomenon and
investigation of the influence of temperature on adsorption
Expanded discussion on the application of chemical thermodynamics
to soil systems A solutions manual is available upon qualifying
course adoption. Still one of the only texts on this subject, this
book provides a comprehensive, modern, and balanced coverage of the
chemical and mineralogical characteristics of soils and their
chemical processes. It contains more information and topic coverage
than required for an average, single-semester course. This
extensive coverage is by design, giving you the latitude to pick
your own essential topics while providing additional information or
a more advanced treatment when needed. Figures and tables make the
information accessible and each problem has been tested and is
relevant and doable, but asks more of students than to simply
generate a number. This format allows students to understand the
concepts and recognize that their computations have physical
meaning.
