About the Book: Fundamentals of Soil Science
Fundamentals of Soil Science offers a clear, practice-oriented pathway from soil
genesis to field diagnosis and sustainable management. Beginning with first
principles—soil as a natural body, its formation, profile development, and
components—the book builds a strong conceptual base before moving into texture,
bulk density, structure, porosity, water and air relations, temperature,
colloids, organic matter, and nutrient interactions. Advanced chapters connect
these fundamentals to tools and decisions: pF curves and energy concepts, remote
sensing and image interpretation, soil orders and land capability, rocks and
minerals, pedogenesis, soil biology, survey methods, and the realities of soil
degradation.
