The main focus of this monograph is to explain the important role
of soil and the environment to a broad audience. Soil is one of the
five essential factors crucial for human life. On the one hand the
authors describe a responsible approach and use of soil,
established on a basic knowledge of the nature of soil and the
countless ongoing processes within soil. On the other hand they
explain the precarious link between soil and regional environment,
which is indispensable for plant and animal communities. In
addition to these topics its chapters describe the unique roles of
soil texture, soil structure and soil pore systems in hydrologic
cycles, plant nutrition and conditions affecting the preservation
or eventual extinction of soil. This book concludes with the
principles of soil protection and revitalization. General readers
with an interest in biology, chemistry, physics or geology will
find this book highly informative.
