This introductory textbook describes the nature of the Earth's environment and its physical processes so as to highlight environmental concerns arising from human use and misuse of soil and water resources. The author provides a thorough introduction to the basic issues regarding the sustainable, productive use of land resources that is vital in ...
Physical Nonequilibrium in Soils provides cutting-edge knowledge on physical nonequilibrium phenomena in soils, offering unique insight into the complexity of our physical world.
"Environmental Soil Physics" is a completely updated and modified edition of the Daniel Hillels previous, successful books, "Introduction to Soil Physics" and "Fundamentals of Soil Physics". Hillel is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, one of the true leaders in the field of environmental sciences. The new version includes a chapter and problems on ...
This book is not, in any case, in total defiance of the Wise Old Man's admonition, for it is not an entirely new book. Rather, it is an outgrowth of a previous treatise, written a decade ago, entitled "Soil and Water: Physical Principles and Processes." Though that book was well enough received at the time, the passage of the years has inevitably ...
The scaling issue remains one of the largest problems in soil science and hydrology. This book is a unique compendium of ideas, conceptual approaches, techniques, and methodologies for scaling soil physical properties. Scaling Methods in Soil Physics covers many methods of scaling that will be useful in helping scientists across a range of soil ...
This book is a unified, condensed, and simplified version of the recently issued twin volumes, Fundamentals of Soil Physics and Applications of Soil Physics. Nonessential topics and complexities have been deleted, and little prior knowledge of the subject is assumed. An effort has been made to provide an elementary, readable, and self-sustaining ...
Reviews a wide range of methods for soil physical analysis. Considers applications, accuracy, measurement time, and cost of equipment. Provides examples of applications.
The completely revised and updated edition of the classic guide to soil physics The revised edition of an environmental soil science classic, Soil Physics, Sixth Edition presents updated and expanded material on the latest developments in the industry, providing the best preparation for students and a state-of-the-art reference for professionals. ...
This volume is organized into four sections covering: the basics of contaminant properties and how they could affect transport and fate; the fundamental processes affecting subsurface transport and fate of contaminants; applications of transport and fate information to various contaminant types; and utilization of transport and fate information ...
The new edition of a bestseller, Water Flows in Soils bridges the fields of soil physics-where descriptions of water flow tend to be microscopic- and hydrology - where they tend to be macroscopic. This work conveys the fundamental concepts of water flow in soils with clear and essentially nonmathematical explanations. The author elegantly ...
An authoritative reference on soil physics, "Soil Physics Companion" is lavishly illustrated with graphs, charts, line drawings, and equations. The book provides a valuable source of material and reference for most contemporary topics of soil physics and the vadose zone - arguably the most comprehensive volume available. In addition to being a ...
This detailed text is designed to provide comprehensive information on the late-1990s status of the application of fractal geometry in soil science, and on prospects for its future use. Practical applications include plotting water conductivity through different soil types, studying plant root systems, and charting the interactions of microbes ...
Emphasizing pioneering achievements, this work offers a clear and systematic description of various soil-water phenomena and their applications to soil problems such as water retention and the flux of water in soils and clays. This second edition contains material on the physical properties of adsorbed water, the application of fractal theory to ...
Bridging the gap between hydrology and soil physics, this work examines soil water flow in laboratories and fieldwork. It provides nonmathematical explanations, introducing phenomenal approaches with logical descriptions of water flow in soils.
This edition reflects the new developments and concerns in the field, such as chemical pollution of the environment and solute transport through soils. There is increased emphasis on problem solving and the application of mathematics and computers. The focus is on transport processes and problems, providing general theory and teaching the student ...
