Hydropedology
Hydropedology synergistic integration of soil science and hydrology / [recurso electrónico] :
Synergistic integration of soil science and hydrology
edited by Henry Lin.
- 1st ed.
- Amsterdam ; Boston : Academic Press, 2012.
- 1 online resource (xiv, 800 p., [44] p. of plates) : ill. (some col.), maps (some col.)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Overviews and fundamentals -- Case studies and applications -- Advances in modeling, mapping, and coupling.
Hydropedology is a microcosm for what is happening in Soil Science. Once a staid discipline found in schools of agriculture devoted to increasing crop yield, soil science is transforming itself into an interdisciplinary mulch with great significance not only for food production but also climate change, ecology, preservation of natural resources, forestry, and carbon sequestration. Hydropedology brings together pedology (soil characteristics) with hydrology (movement of water) to understand and achieve the goals now associated with modern soil science. The first book of its kind in the market - Highly interdisciplinary, involving new thinking and synergistic approaches - Stimulating case studies demonstrate the need for hydropedology in various practical applications - Future directions and new approaches are present to advance this emerging interdisciplinary science.
