Environmental
Soil Chemistry, Third Edition provides an up-to-date overview of the
interdisciplinary field of environmental soil chemistry. This classic text
covers the fundamental principles of soil chemistry, including the inorganic
and organic components of soil, soil porewater chemistry, interfacial chemical
reactions between solids and dissolved ions/molecules, ion exchange, and the
kinetics of the soil chemical process, such as sorption and redox. Soil acidity
and salinity are also discussed. This fully updated third edition places
particular emphasis on environmental reactions between clay minerals, metal
oxides, and soil organic matter with heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial
contaminants. This text provides the latest technological advances representing
the cutting edge of the science. Completely updated throughout with new content
and updated full color figures, the third edition contains expanded information
on soil minerals and an increased emphasis on the coupling between chemical and
biological reactions, mechanisms, and processes. This third edition provides
upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in soil science with sound
contemporary training in the basics of soil chemistry and applications to
real-world environmental concerns. The book offers a competitive advantage for
those students looking to incorporate novel, advanced tools into their
research.
