Excerpt from Abstracts of Recent Published Material on Soil and Water Conservation, Vol. 32 The abstracts of recent published material on Soil and Water Conservation are issued at irregular intervals. Their purpose is to bring together a summary of current published in formation about soil and water conservation work. Reprints of abstracted articles are generally not available in the Soil and Water Conservation Research Division. Requests for reprints should be sent to the authors or institutions, addresses are appended. The classification of articles follows the table of contents used for the Soil and Water Conservation Research Needs of the Soil Conservation Service. Abstracted articles are not editorialized and the language of the author is used wherever possible. In foreign articles, the units of measure are converted to usual American units. Tables are included where they help to present the information. When the entire number of a publication is de voted to reviewing one subject then the entire publication is abstracted as one article giving title and authors of each paper included in the publication. Abbreviations of journals and addresses follow u.s. D. A. Misc. Pub. 765, July 1958. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

ISBN: 9048135842

This Encyclopedia of Agrophysics will provide up-to-date information on the physical properties and processes affecting the quality of the environment and plant production. It will be a "first-up" volume which will nicely complement the recently published Encyclopedia of Soil Science, (November 2007) which was published in the same series. In a single authoritative volume a collection of about 250 informative articles and ca 400 glossary terms covering all aspects of agrophysics will be presented. The authors will be renowned specialists in various aspects in agrophysics from a wide variety of countries. Agrophysics is important both for research and practical use not only in agriculture, but also in areas like environmental science, land reclamation, food processing etc. Agrophysics is a relatively new interdisciplinary field closely related to Agrochemistry, Agrobiology, Agroclimatology and Agroecology. Nowadays it has been fully accepted as an agricultural and environmental discipline. As such this Encyclopedia volume will be an indispensable working tool for scientists and practitioners from different disciplines, like agriculture, soil science, geosciences, environmental science, geography, and engineering.

Genre: Technology & Engineering
ISBN: 925108369X

This publication is a revised and updated version of World Soil Resources Reports No. 84 and 103 and presents the international soil classification system. Every soil in the world can be allocated to one of the 32 Reference Soil Groups as defined in this document, and can further be characterized by a set of qualifiers. The resulting soil name provides information on soil genesis, soil ecological function and soil properties relevant for land use and management. The same system, refined slightly, may be used to name the units of soil map legends, thereby providing comprehensive spatial information. By accommodating national soil classification systems, the World Reference Base facilitates the worldwide correlation of soil information.
