Soil Sampling and Methods of Analysis, Second Edition
M.R. Carter: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Charlottetown, Prince Edwa
E.G. Gregorich: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Thoroughly updated and revised, this second edition of the bestselling SoilSampling 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.
