This classic book focuses on color science and advances in measuring soil color, properties, and genetic significance of important pigmenting agents in soils, as well as geomorphic and geologic factors influencing the formation-inheritance of soil color. Topics include color standards, laboratory measurtment, field vs. lab measurement, and several chapters on specific soil constituent and structural influences on color. Students, soil scientists, and researchers interested in soil color will find this publication to be extremely useful.
