"The book focuses on some important microbial functions in aquatic and terrestrial environments and their influence on 'global' processes and includes state-of-the-art approaches to visualization, culture and identification, community interactions and gene transfer, and diversit…
Soil is a fundamental and critical, yet often overlooked, component of terrestrial ecosystems. It is an extremely complex environment, supporting levels of diversity far greater than any ecosystem above ground. This book explores how soil structure develops and the consequences …
This book brings together BRE published guidance on various aspects of foundations for low-rise buildings, providing an overview of ground behaviour and geotechnics and focusing on shallow foundations for low-rise buildings.
Combining a quantitative, mathematical analysis of the mechanisms of soil-water interactions with a physicochemical description of such processes, Soil-Water Interactions, Second Edition offers a clear and systematic overview of various soil-water phenomena and their application…
Emphasizing pioneering achievements, this work offers a clear and systematic description of various soil-water phenomena and their applications to soil problems such as water retention and the flux of water in soils and clays. This second edition contains material on the physica…
