Book excerpt: Developments in Soil Science, 5A: Soil Chemistry: A: Basic Elements focuses on the advancements in the processes, methodologies, principles, and approaches involved in soil chemistry. The selection first elaborates on the composition of the soil, chemical equilibria, and surface interaction between the soil solid phase and the soil solution. Topics include properties of the liquid layer adjacent to the solid phase, influence of the interaction between solid and liquid phase on soil properties, reactions involving the transfer of protons and/or electrons, calculation of equilibrium constants from thermodynamic data, solid phase components, and gas phase. The manuscript then takes a look at the adsorption of cations and anions by soil, common solubility equilibria in soils, and transport and accumulation of soluble soil components. Discussions focus on solute displacement in soil, transport with and in the liquid phase, iron oxides and hydroxides, carbonate equilibria, anion exclusion at negatively charged surfaces, and highly selective adsorption of cations by soil. The text ponders on the pollution of soil, saline and sodic soils, and chemical equilibria and soil formation, including weathering and soil minerals, reverse weathering, sodication of soils upon irrigation, chemical aspects of the reclamation of saline and sodic soils, and recognition and prediction of soil pollution. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers wanting to study soil chemistry.

Download or read book Soil Formation written by Nico van Breemen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil Formation deals with qualitative and quantitative aspects of soil formation (or pedogenesis) and the underlying chemical, biological, and physical processes. The starting point of the text is the process - and not soil classification. Effects of weathering and new formation of minerals, mobilisation, transport, and breakdown or immobilisation of dissolved and suspended compounds are discussed. Soil processes and profiles are discussed in relation to the landscape, the geosphere, and the biosphere. Emphasis lies on the universality of soil-forming processes in past and present, and on the soil as a dynamic entity that forms part of the total environment. Complexity of genetic processes in time and space is given much attention. The text gives many examples from literature and places some in a new light. The reader is guided through the subject matter by a large number of questions and problems to help understand and synthesis the material. Answers to all questions are included. This second edition has been updated to reflect recent discoveries. Printing errors have been corrected, and new photographs support the text.

Download or read book Geochemistry at the Earth’s Surface written by Andreas Bauer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geochemistry at the surface of the earth is dominated by two somewhat antagonistic forces: chemical reactions which attempt to attain a steady state (equilibrium) and geological movement of materials in time and space which changes the parameters that control chemical equilibrium. Another aspect that is extremely important to earth surface geochemistry is the effect of plants on the chemical and physical stability of materials (soils). Plant systems in fact work against the normal chemical changes (loss of silica, potassium, etc.) and the normal physical changes (stabilizing fine grained materials (clays) in the surface zones to avoid erosion). Biological effects are clearly seen in redox effects in the various parts of the earth surface movement cycle; soil formation, stream transport, sedimentation. This book attempts to outline these different parameters and their interactions as they affect earth surface geochemistry in order to give a better understanding of movement and accumulation of elements at the surface of the earth.

Book excerpt: Soils form a unique and irreplaceable essential resource for all terrestrial organisms, including man. Soils form not only the very thin outer skin of the earth's crust that is exploited by plant roots for anchorage and supply of water and nutrients. Soils are complex natural bodies formed under the influence of plants, microorganisms and soil animals, water and air from their parent material, i.e. solid rock or unconsolidated sediments. Physically, chemically and mineralogically they usually differ strongly from the parent material, and normally are far more suitable as a rooting medium for plants. In addition to serving as a substrate for plant growth, including crops and pasture, soils play a dominant role in the biogeochemical cycling of water, carbon, nitrogen and other elements, influencing the chemical composition and turnover rates of substances in the atmosphere and the hydrosphere. Soils take decades to millennia to form. We tread on them and do not usually see their interior, so we tend to take them for granted. But improper and abusive agricultural management, careless land- clearing and reclamation, man-induced erosion, salinisation and acidification, desertification, air- and water pollution, and withdrawal of land for housing, industry and transportation now destroy soils more rapidly than they can be formed.

Download or read book Soil Chemistry And Plant Nutrients written by Premasis Sukul and published by New India Publishing Agency. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is primarily supposed to be used as a textbook on Soil Chemistry and Plant Nutrients. This has been written to fulfil the requirements of the students studying agriculture at the undergraduate level of all agricultural Universities or other educational institutes in India and abroad. However, postgraduate student and research scholars of soil science and allied field may also equally be benefitted. This book is dealing with fourteen chapters covering chemical and elemental composition of Earth and Earth crust; rocks and minerals, their weathering processes leading to soil formation; soil reactions (pH) and its buffering capacity; soil organic matter; inorganic soil colloids such as silicate clays and others; essential plant nutrients, their sources and transformation chemistry in soil; organic manures, chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers, ion exchange reactions and chemical equilibria in soil, soil biology and chemistry of related soil processes; soil erosion and its impact on soil fertility; problem soils such as acid soil, salt-affected soil, submerged or waterlogged soil. All these aspects have been dealt from chemistry point of view with sufficient explanation and mechanisms of certain processes, wherever it is applicable, in order to make the subject more meaningful, logical, simple, and understandable to the learners as well as the teachers. Finally, it deals with present day burning issue of environmental pollution due to intensive and extensive agricultural practices leading to soil contamination with pesticides, fertilizers, and other hazardous compounds which, in turn, cause air and water pollution too. With my vast teaching and research experience that started from 1985, The book has been prepared in such a manner that students may find their all sorts of queries in soil science from chemistry point of view through a holistic approach. The chapters have been arranged systematically, so that the readers will enter the domain of soil chemistry in a proper way step by step. Model questions, both subjective and objective type, have been incorporated at the end of each chapter; so that students may be able to get an idea about the pattern of questions which are being asked during various competitive examinations.
