Soil remains one of the most important, yet most abused, natural
resources on the planet. Responsible management of soil and
associated water resources plays a critical role in the survival
and prosperity of many nations around the world.

fundamental concepts of how soils function and how this functioning

The Fourth Edition of this classic text includes:
Fully updated coverage of all the major aspects of soil science,
from the soil habitat to processes in the soil environment and
management for sustainable production.
Discussion of soil management and environmental impacts.
