Environmental Soil Physics: Fundamentals, Applications, and Environmental Considerations

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 computational techniques, addresses current environmental concerns and trends. * Updates and expands the scope of Hillel’s prior works, Fundamentals of Soil Physics (1980)and Applications of Soil Physics (1980) * Explores the wide range of interactions among the phases in the soil and the dynamic interconnections of the soil with the subterranean and atmospheric domains * Draws attention to historical and contemporary issues concerning the human management of soil and water resources * Directs readers toward solution of practical problems in terrestrial ecology, field-scale hydrology, agronomy, and civil engineering * Incorporates contributions by leading scientists in the areas of spatial variability, soil remediation, and the inclusion of land-surface processes in global climate models
