The soils are fundamental to our existence, delivering water and nutrients to plants, that feed us. But they are in many ways in danger and their conservation is therefore a most important focus for science, governments and society as a whole.

A team of world recognised researchers have prepared this first English edition based on the 16th European edition.

The precursors and the processes of soil development
The physical, biological and chemical properties of soils
Nutrients and Pollutants
The various soil classifications with the main focus on the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB)
The most important soils and soil landscapes of the world
Soil Evaluation Techniques
Basic Principles of Soil Conservation

Whoever works with soils needs this book.

Reviews / Votes

"Each chapter is well organized with numerous subsections discussing specific topics. The text is also well illustrated to clarify relationships for the soil functions discussed. . The textbook is suitable for teaching advanced students in soil science or allied curricula. It is also an excellent resource for professionals with backgrounds in engineering, biology, ecology, and agriculture. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." (S. G. Shetron, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
