Description
The scaling issue remains one of the largest problems in soil science and hydrology. This book is a unique compendium of ideas, conceptual approaches, techniques, and methodologies for scaling soil physical properties. Scaling Methods in Soil Physics covers many methods of scaling that will be useful in helping scientists across a range of soil-rel
Reviews / Votes
"This excellent book comprising 20 chapters deals with spatial scaling of soil processes and soil properties. ... All contributors are acknowledged experts. The content of the book is well balanced, with all chapters informative and highly relevant. The topics of each chapter are illustrated by interesting examples, with well-chosen informative figures. ... [T]his book is an excellent starting point for anyone who would like to contribute to the development of this topic. I therefore strongly recommend it, to researchers and doctoral students in soil physics and hydrology in particular, but anyone working with environmental models will benefit from reading it."- European Journal of Soil Science, 55, 2004
