This book with nine chapters describes the main methods for visual soil evaluation (VSE) of soil structure and soil-related properties. It includes clear visual images of the variation of soil quality and how these relate to soil productivity and environmental sustainability. Su…
Visual Soil Evaluation provides land users and environmental authorities with simple methods to assess soil quality for crop performance. An important tool for ensuring food security, this book also shows how visual soil evaluation can reveal the potential of different land type…

Soil mineralogy has a profound influence on the chemical characteristics and dynamic behavior of soils and the environment. An understanding of the mineralogical composition provides insight into the fundamental behavior of soils and their response to environmental conditions an…
Knowledge of the basic interactions that take place between geological materials and different substances is the first step in understanding the effects of adsorption and other interfacial processes on the quality of rocks and soils, and on driving these processes towards a bene…
