Description:
This book presents the latest methodological developments in soil-landscape
modeling. It provides a cross-section of many recently developed measurement
tools, as well as computer-related and pedometric techniques that are instrumental
for soil-landscape modeling. It also contains in-depth reviews of the history of
soil-landscape modeling, thus presenting views from soil geography, soil genesis,
and soil geomorphology. I consider this one of the strong points of this book.
Quantitative soil-landscape modeling will only be successful if it is a joint venture
between various disciplines within soil science, notably soil geography, soil
genesis, and pedometrics. It is reassuring to see work from reputable soil scientists
with such diverse backgrounds in soil science united in this book.
