Soil and Vegetation Systems (Contemporary Problems in Geology)

The second edition of a highly successful reference guide to components and models of soil nutrient systems, this book has been extensively revised to account for current information and ideas which have developed since the first edition was published. Featured in this edition are: a major section on the effects of acid rain, an informative discussion of nutrient cycling, and a rewritten chapter which simplifies models and updates the testing of models against available data.
