Soil science, sedimentology

Thoroughly updated and revised, this second edition of the bestselling Soil Sampling and Methods of Analysis presents several new chapters in the areas of biological and physical analysis and soil sampling. Reflecting the burgeoning interest in soil ecology, new contributions describe the growing number and assortment of new microbiological techniques, describe in-depth methods, and demonstrate new tools that characterize the dynamics and chemistry of soil organic matter and soil testing for plant nutrients. A completely new section devoted to soil water reviews up-to-date field- and laboratory-based methods for saturated and unsaturated soil hydraulic properties.

Retaining the easy-to-follow, “cookbook” style of the original, this second edition provides a compilation of soil analytical techniques that are fast, straightforward, and relatively easy-to-use. Heavily referenced, peer-reviewed contributions from approximately 150 specialists make this a practical manual and resource handbook that describes a wide array of methods, both conventional and cutting-edge, for analyzing the chemical, biological, biochemical, and physical properties of many different soil types. Including several “primer” chapters that cover the overall principles and concepts behind the latest techniques, the book presents sufficient detail on the materials and procedures to characterize the potential and limitation of each method. It covers recent improvements in methodology, outlines current methods, and characterizes the best methods available for selecting the appropriate analysis technique.

Promoting the research and practical application of findings in soil science, Soil Sampling and Methods of Analysis, Second Edition continues to be the most current, detailed, comprehensive tool for researchers and practitioners working with soil.

Reviews for Soil Sampling and Methods of Analysis

... It is authoritative, covering soil analysis in the broadest sense... all the chapters retained from the first edition have been updated and others added. ...Each method is described in detail... this book is a valuable vade mecum for any soil science laboratory. -Charlie Scrimgeour, in Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 44, 2008 ... a substantial revision of the first edition published in 1993. Many of the earlier chapters have been updated, and new ones have been added, in particular to deal with modern developments in soil biology, the chemistry of soil organic matter and techniques for characterizing the hydraulic behavior of soil. It is an impressive volume of 85 chapters and two appendices written by 140 authors, most of whom are Canadian and many recognized internationally as experts in their fields... Sound sampling and estimation are crucial to success in almost any study of soil... This book is a valuable compendium on soil analysis and merits a place in any soil laboratory. -R. Webster, in European Journal of Soil Science, Vol. 59, 2008 The materials and procedures for ... methods are presented in straightforward language with adequate details, easy to understand and follow. ... well written and logically organized. - Mingxin Guo, Department of Agriculture & Natural Resources, Delaware State University in Environmental Quality, Vol. 38, No. 1, 2009
