Libro: The Nature and Properties of Soils (978-1-292-16223-2) de Ray R. Weil, Nyle C. Brady (Pearson ) Comprar Libros de Otros .. Developed for Introduction to Soils or Soil Science courses, The Nature and Properties of Soils, Fifteenth Edition, can be used in courses such as Soil Fertility, Land Resources, Earth Science and Soil Geography. Help students learn about soils and their connections to the ecosystem. The Nature and Properties of Soils is designed to engage todays students with the latest in the world of soils. This hallmark text introduces students to the exciting world of soils through clear writing, strong pedagogy, and an ecological approach that effectively explains the fundamentals of soil science. Worked calculations, vignettes, and current real-world applications prepare readers to understand concepts, solve problems, and think critically. Written for both majors and non-majors, this text highlights the many interactions between the soil and other components of forest, range, agricultural, wetland and constructed ecosystems. Now in full-color, the Fifteenth Edition includes hundreds of compelling photos, figures, and diagrams to bring the exciting world of soils to life. Extensively revised, new and updated content appears in every chapter. Examples include: coverage of the pedosphere concept; new insights into humus and soil carbon accumulation; subaqueous soils, soil effects on human health; principles and practice of organic farming; urban and human engineered soils; new understandings of the nitrogen cycle; water-saving irrigation techniques; hydraulic redistribution, soil food-web ecology; disease suppressive soils; soil microbial genomics; soil interactions with global climate change; digital soil maps; and many others. 0 Title Page Copyright Page Contents Preface 1 The Soils Around Us 1.1 What Ecosystem Services Do Soils Perform? 1.2 How Do Soils Support Plant Growth? 1.3 How Do Soils Regulate Water Supplies? 1.4 How Do Soils Recycle Raw Materials? 1.5 How Do Soils Modify the Atmosphere? 1.6 What Lives in the Soil Habitat? 1.7 Soil as an Engineering Medium 1.8 The Pedosphere and the Critical Zone? 1.9 Soils as Natural Bodies 1.10 The Soil Profile and Its Layers (Horizons) 1.11 Topsoil and Subsoil 1.12 SoilInterface of Air, Minerals, Water, and Life 1.13 What are the Mineral (Inorganic) Constituents of Soils? 1.14 The Nature of Soil Organic Matter 1.15 Soil WaterDynamic and Complex 1.16 Soil Air: A Changing Mixture of Gases 1.17 How Do Soil Components Interact to Supply Nutrients to Plants? 1.18 How Do Plant Roots Obtain Nutrients? 1.19 Soil Health, Degradation, and Resilience 1.20 Conclusion
