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 soil chemical process, such as sorption and redox. Soil acidity and salinity are also discussed. There is a particular emphasis on environmental reactions between clay minerals, metal oxides, and soil organic matter with heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial contaminants. In addition to providing an overview of the essentials on the topic, text also provides the latest technological advances that represent 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. Environmental Soil Chemistry, 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. It offers a competitive advantage for those students looking to incorporate novel, advanced tools into their research.
