Résumé

Contains worked-out examples, food for thought questions, and historical boxes
Discusses new devices useful for measurements at the earth surface and into the vadose zone
Presents up-to-date information in one easy-to-use resource
Provides current references as an entry into the vast literature available

An authoritative reference on soil physics, Soil Physics Companion is lavishly illustrated with graphs, charts, line drawings, and equations. The book provides a valuable source of material and reference for most contemporary topics of soil physics and the vadose zone - arguably the most comprehensive volume available. In addition to being a reliable reference, it is valuable as an advanced text from which topics of interest can be selected by the teacher and student.

Topics include:

Static and dynamic aspects of soils
Transport processes and soil water measurements
Movement of soil water in the context of overall water balance and its key role in the hydrologic cycle
Energy balance and thermal regime
Soil-plant-atmospheric interface
Solute transport and soil-gas movement
Spatial variability

Building on the work begun in the bestselling Handbook of Soil Science, this reference takes soil physics one step further. Convenient and easy-to-use, it provides in-depth information at your fingertips. When you need easily accessible, readily available facts and theories, you need the Soil Physics Companion.
