(Ebook) Soil Chemistry by Daniel G. Strawn, Hinrich L. Bohn, George A. O'Connor ISBN 9781119515159, 1119515157

Provides comprehensive coverage
of the chemical interactions among organic and inorganic solids, air,
water, microorganisms, and the plant roots in soil.

This book
focuses on the species and reaction processes of chemicals in soils,
with applications to environmental and agricultural issues. Topics range
from discussion of fundamental chemical processes to review of
properties and reactions of chemicals in the environment. This new
edition contains more examples, more illustrations, more details of
calculations, and reorganized material within the chapters, including
nearly 100 new equations and 51 new figures. Each section also ends with
an important concepts overview as well as new questions for readers to
answer. 

Starting with an introduction to the subject, Soil Chemistry, 5th Edition
offers in-depth coverage of properties of elements and molecules;
characteristics of chemicals in soils; soil water chemistry; redox
reactions in soils; mineralogy and weathering processes in soils; and
chemistry of soil clays. The book also provides chapters that examine
production and chemistry of soil organic matter; surface properties of
soil colloids; adsorption processes in soils; measuring and predicting
sorption processes in soils; soil acidity; and salt-affected soils. 

• Provides a basic description of important research and fundamental knowledge in the field of soil chemistry
• Contains more than 200 references provided in figure and table captions and at the end of the chapters
• Extensively revised with updated figures and tables.

Soil Chemistry, 5th Edition is an excellent text for senior-level soil chemistry students.
