A single-source reference to biochemical cycles in soil, emphasizing basic principles and naturally occurring reactions. Presents all major aspects of nutrient cycling, including fluxes with other ecosystems, biochemical pathways and transformations, gains and losses, chemical fixation reactions, and plant availability. Environmental issues are integrated into the classical treatment of cycling processes. Two chapters are devoted exclusively to pollution of the environment. Surveys such topics as management of crop residues and maintenance of soil organic matter, use of soil for disposal of organic wastes, biological nitrogen fixation, denitrification, efficiency of fertilizer nitrogen use by plants, nitrates in food and water, chemistry and fate of phosphorus and sulfur and behavior of trace elements.

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2004

Great book. Even if you do not have any backround in soil science or geology this book is easily readable, though a scientific mind is essential. As well as its suitability for the novice this book represents an essential reference text for the undergraduate/graduate/doctoral student as it goes into considerable depth. The book does,however skim over the biogeochemistry of micronutrients with only 1 chapter devoted to them. So if its in depth information on these that you are looking for I would suggest you look else where. Apart from that, this book is easily reccomendable.
