3.0 out of 5 stars
Soil, Plant, Water & Atmosphere,
By Jethro Tull "Tull" (Hungerford, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Soil and Plant Water Relations (Hardcover)
This book is an attempt to create SPAC Soil, Plant, Atmosphere Continuum. But looks more like a series of lecture notes. Written in clear manner covering aspects of water in soil, plant and atmosphere. Each chapter also has a brief biography of famous person responsible in the topic discusses from Richards to Nielsen, Hertz, Boltzmann etc. Also contained instruments, and anecdote behind them such as how disc permeameter evolved and patented.
In Chapter 2 the author stressed the importance of using SI units. But other chapters still use non SI units eg. dynes/cm3, bar. The author tries to incorporate many modern instruments, but some classical methods and theories still used. such as using wheatstone bridge to measure conductivity and electrical analogue. |
