1st.
2022.
Hardback.
Slightly better than very good condition.
Explains the pedological processes set in motion by increases in soil organic matter content of depleted degraded soils. Discusses the relationship between soil organic matter content and critical soil quality parameters, including aggregation, water retention and transport, aeration and gaseous exchange, nutrient and elemental transformation and availability to plants, and chemcial composition of soil air. Pictorial glazed boards. Charts & photos. xiii and 323 pages including index. ISBN: 9781032150673. A few small knocks to board edges. Boards are ligthly scuffed. Contents fine.
