About this title

Synopsis:

The importance of soil cannot be overstated as it is the most essential resource for fulfilling the fundamental requirements of food, fiber, and shelter for the human race. Soil forms the basis for all terrestrial life and provides a wide range of ecosystem services that enable humankind to survive and progress. Soil is an intricate mixture of minerals, water, air, organic matter, and countless organisms, including the decaying remains of once-living things. It is formed at the surface of the land and serves as the skin of the earth. Soil plays a crucial role in supporting plant life and is vital to life on earth. The book Descriptive and Objective Soil Science aims to provide readers with brief information on various soil science concepts, such as soil genesis, soil physics, soil chemistry, soil mineralogy, soil health, soil fertility, manures and fertilizers, soil degradation, problematic soils, soils of India, irrigation water quality, and more. The book also includes objective questions at the end of each chapter for readers to test their knowledge.
