Publisher's Synopsis
This guide offers succinct descriptions of the current analytical methods in soil science. It covers advantages and disadvantages of each method, as well as the interpretation of results. Its aim is to describe a general approach to the determination of soil properties. Specializing in pedology, chapters are devoted to analyses of soil constituents and structure. Concluding chapters deal with soils that may present analytical problems, such as peat, volcanic ash and dolomitic soils.
