Soil-Water-Solute Process Characterization

Beyond mere technical guidance, this book addresses the limitations of soil characterization methods and advises on alternatives. A holistic text, it considers complicating factors and methods of monitoring and modelling mass transfer processes.
After years of research and development, environmental and agricultural professionals now have an array of methods for characterizing soil processes. Soil-Water-Solute Process Characterization: An Integrated Approach goes beyond simple technical guidance by also addressing each method's limitations and showing readers how to select alternatives. The wealth of methodological tools creates the need for this holistic text, which addresses the complicating factors such as spatial and temporal variability of soil processes, scale issues, soil structure and the trade-offs between methods. The book focuses on advanced methods for the monitoring and modeling of mass transfer processes in soil.
