Soil is the most fundamental reswource to fulfill basic requirements of food, fiber and shelter of human race. Soil forms basis for all terrestrial life. Soil provides a wide range of ecosystem services that make humankind to survive and progress. Soils are complex mixtures of minerals, water, air, organic matter, and countless organisms that are the decaying remains of once-living things. It forms at the surface of land and is the “skin of the earth”. Soil is capable of supporting plant life and is vital to life on earth. The present publication ‘Descriptive and Objective Soil Science' aimed to provide chapter wise brief information on different concepts of soil science viz., Soil genesis, Soil physics, Soil chemistry, Soil mineralogy, Soil heath, Soil fertility, Manures and Fertilisers, Soil degradation, Problematic soils, Soils of India, Irrigation water quality, so on along with objective questions at the end of the each chapter. This book is useful for B.Sc (Agriculture), B.Sc. (Horticulture), B.Sc. (Environment Science), JRF, SRF, ARS, SAUs and other Competitive Examinations)

Soils are affected by human activities, such as industrial, municipal and agriculture, that often result in soil degradation and loss. In order to prevent soil degradation and to rehabilitate the potentials of degraded soils, reliable soil data are the most important prerequisites for the design of appropriate land-use systems and soil management practices as well as for a better understanding of the environment. The availability of reliable information on soil morphology and other characteristics obtained through examination and description of the soil in the field is essential, and the use of a common language is of prime importance. These guidelines, based on the latest internationally accepted systems and classifications, provide a complete procedure for soil description and for collecting field data. To help beginners, some explanatory notes are included as well as keys based on simple test and observations.--Publisher's description.

The paradigm and models of traditional soil science lack the ability to adequately address issues of soil dynamics, environmental integration, and change. Unexplainable research results obtained from traditional soil studies applied to non-traditional soil phenomena in physical geography, archaeology and ecology speak to the current need for soil science to move beyond description and classification and into a dynamic process-oriented soil science capable of providing explanations. Soils do not behave as static inert geologic detritus affected by climate, organisms, relief, and parent material through time, but instead soils behave as self-organizing systems dynamically interrelating with their environment. Recognition of this dynamic behaviour required a re-examination of how scientists in general think and in how modern soil science specifically evolved its basic paradigms and models. This book examines the dynamics of soil organic carbon and demonstrates the self-organizing nature of soil through time as soil responds to a wide range of environmental and human perturbations. Makes soil science accessible to a wider audience by integrating soil science with biology, geography and archaeology Demonstrates universal application by including case studies from around the world Avoids pitfalls of determinism and vitalism by being well founded in the philosophy of science
