Abstract:
This study aimed to determine the effects of physical, chemical and water-holding capacity of Quartzarenic Neosol, Red Latosol and Red Nitosol on tree growth, physicomechanical properties and anatomical features of wood from 33-year-old C. citriodora plantations. More clayey soils with higher water availability, such as Red Latosol and Red Nitosol, increased the mean annual increment and heartwood percentage. In more sandy soils, such as Quartzarenic Neosol, density increased, but the size and diameter of fibers and vessels decreased, and both fiber cell wall thickness and frequency of vessels and rays increased. Wood shrinkage and mechanical properties did not differ between soils. We observed a gradual increase in the anatomical, physical and mechanical characteristics in the pith-bark direction. The uniformity index showed that Quartzarenic Neosol and Red Latosol soils produced more homogeneous woods. We concluded that soil texture and water availability influenced tree growth, anatomical properties and wood density.

As parcelas de 6 m x 10 m foram constituídas de milheto (Pennisetum americanum) e sem milheto como vegetação de cobertura, com uma única aplicação superficial inicial de 3,1 t ha-1 de calcário na metade de cada parcela, visando obter saturação por bases (V) de 70%, após dessecação do milheto. Foram analisadas algumas propriedades físicas como a densidade do solo, a estabilidade dos agregados, a proporção de agregados >2 mm, a macro e a microporosidade, e as propriedades químicas que constaram dos macronutrientes Ca e Mg, matéria orgânica, pH do solo e H+Al. Os resíduos vegetais de milheto e a calagem superficial não alteraram a densidade do solo, o diâmetro médio ponderado - DMP, os agregados > 2 mm, a macroporosidade e os teores de matéria orgânica do solo, vinte e quatro meses após a implantação do sistema de semeadura direta, para as condições experimentais estudadas. A microporosidade do solo foi afetada significativamente nas camadas inferiores a0,20 m, no tratamento milheto com calcário. Os teores de cálcio, magnésio e H + Al e os valores de pH do solo sofreram alterações significativas na camada superficial entre 0‑0,05 m. UNITERMOS: densidade do solo, porosidade, estabilidade de agregados, cálcio, milheto, plantio direto. CONEGLIAN, C.; MORAES, M.H. EFFECT OF MILLET RESIDUES (Pennisetum americanum) AND LIMING ON SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF DISTROFERRIC RED NITOSOL IN NO-TILLAGE SYSTEM 2 ABSTRACT This work studied alterations of physical properties of a distroferric red nitosol due to millet (Pennisetum americanum) covering, with or without liming, in a no-tillage system during the agricultural years of 1999/2000 and 2000/2001, using soybean and corn as culture succession. 6mx10m plots, with and without millet as vegetal covering, received only one initial superficial application of limestone, 3.1 t ha-1 in the first half of each plot in order to obtain 70% base saturation (V), after the desiccation of the millet. Some physical properties as soil density, aggregate stability, > 2 mm aggregate proportion, macro and micro porosity were analyzed whereas the chemical analysis determined Ca and Mg macro nutrients, organic matter, soil pH and H+Al. Millet vegetal residues and surface liming did not alter soil density nor the average weight diameter (AWD), > 2 mm aggregate, soil macro porosity and organic matter content, twenty-four months after the no-tillage system implantation for studied experimental conditions. Soil micro porosity was significantly affected in layers deeper than 0.20 m, in treatment with millet and limestone. Calcium, magnesium and H + Al contents and the soil pH values suffered significant alterations in superficial layer, between 0‑0.05 m. KEYWORDS: soil density, porosity, aggregate stability, calcium, millet, no-tillage system.

Abstract:
Uncontrolled grazing can have deteriorative effects on soil properties. This paper studied the effect of different grazing intensities on soil physicochemical and hydraulic properties at Al-Khanasry Agricultural Station, Al-Mafraq, Jordan. In summer 2016. Treatments were (1) no-grazing (NG), (2) controlled grazing (CG), and (3) uncontrolled grazing (UnG) sites. Soil samples were collected from each site to determine bulk density (BD), aggregate stability (AS), soil organic matter (SOM), electrical conductivity (EC), soil acidity (pH), and cation exchange capacity (CEC). Infiltration (F (t)) and hydraulic conductivity (HC) were measured in the field. Results showed that UnG significantly increased BD, Controlled and un-controlled grazing sites showed similar BD (P=< 0.05), the highest was in controlled grazing (1.47 g cm-3). Aggregate stability also increased under grazing condition (P=< 0.05) only in the surface layer (AS), The lowest AS in surface layer was observed in no-grazed plot (17.4%), while no significant difference (P=< 0.05) were observed between controlled and un-controlled grazing plots (24.6 and 24.8%), respectively. In significant (P=< 0.05) Grazing increased soil OM in surface layers. Un-controlled grazing area had significantly (P=< 0.05) higher OM content (3.5%) compared to the no-grazed, but not significant (P=< 0.05) from the controlled grazing area (3%). Grazing significantly decreased F(t) and HC when compared to NG. Grazing significantly (P=< 0.05) reduced cumulative infiltration. The highest cumulative infiltration was observed in no-grazed area while the lowest was in un-controlled grazing area. Also, significant results showed that Grazing reduced (HC), however no significant (P=< 0.05) differences were observed between controlled and un-controlled grazing areas (P=< 0.05). The higher HC was in no-grazed site (0.172*103 cm s-1) while the lowest was in un-controlled grazing area (0.034*103 cm s-1). Therefore, controlling grazing intensity is recommended in these dry areas.

Abstract:
Os Latossolos e Nitossolos da bacia hidrográfica do Pirapó apresentam reduzida suscetibilidade natural à ocorrência de processos erosivos, entretanto, o manejo inadequado tem promovido a sua degradação, impondo condições favoráveis a ação dos agentes de erosão. Diante disso, esse trabalho tem por objetivo estudar os Latossolos Vermelhos e Nitossolos Vermelhos de textura argilosa na bacia hidrográfica do Pirapó, apontando os efeitos das diferentes formas de uso e ocupação no comportamento físico e hídrico dos solos. Foram realizadas análises físicas de densidade do solo, porosidade total, macroporosidade, microporosidade, granulometria e estabilidade de agregados; análises hídricas de velocidade de infiltração e condutividade hidráulica e a análise química de carbono orgânico. Os resultados indicaram que os Latossolos e Nitossolos cultivados com culturas de grãos mostraram-se mais sensíveis às alterações impostas pelo tipo de uso, com alteração das suas propriedades físico-hídricas, sendo necessário buscar o correto manejo do solo garantindo a manutenção da qualidade da água e a sustentabilidade da bacia hidrográfica. A B S T R A C T The Latosol and Nitosol in the Pirapó drainage basin present little natural susceptibility to erosive processes, however, inadequate management has been promoting its degradation and creating conditions favorable to the action of the agents of erosion. In face of this, this works objective is studying the Red Latososl and Red Nitosols of clayey texture in the Pirapó drainage basin, pointing the effects of the different forms of use and occupation in the hydro-physical behavior of these soils. Physical analysis of soil density, total porosity, macroporosity, microporosity, granulometry and aggregate stability were conducted, along with water analysis of infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity, plus a chemical analysis of organic carbon. The results indicate the Latosols and Nitosols under grain crops are more sensitive to the changes caused by the type of use, with alteration of is hydro-physical attributes, making the search for the correct soil management necessary for maintenance of the water quality and sustainability of the drainage basin. Keywords: hydro-physical proprieties, land use, 4B landscape compartment, Latosol and Nitosol.

Abstract:
O aumento da produção de cana-de-açúcar no Brasil é de grande relevância para o cenário agroindustrial atual do país. Entretanto, acarreta a um aumento na geração de subprodutos do setor de usinas sucro-alcooleira. Dentre esses subprodutos destaca-se a vinhaça, pois possui uma série de nutrientes em sua composição. Diante do grande volume de vinhaça obtido e de sua aplicação em áreas de cana-de-açúcar, sugerem-se pesquisas em relação à sua aplicação e ao deslocamento de seus principais componentes químicos no perfil do solo, com a intenção de prever e evitar a contaminação de águas subterrâneas. Portanto, durante o primeiro ciclo de cultivo da cana-de-açúcar, os objetivos dessa pesquisa foram: avaliar a distribuição de alguns componentes químicos da vinhaça (nitrato, potássio, cálcio, enxofre e sódio), avaliar a variação de alguns atributos químicos do solo (pH e condutividade elétrica), verificar a ocorrência de variações em algumas propriedades físico-químicas de um Nitossolo (granulometria, condutividade hidráulica e umidade do solo na capacidade de campo), bem como, avaliar o entupimento de gotejadores e a produtividade da cana-de-açucar, diante da aplicação de vinhaça, via gotejamento subsuperficial. A pesquisa foi conduzida na área experimental do Departamento de Engenharia de Biossistemas da ESALQ/USP, diante de um delineamento estatístico inteiramente casualizado com 6 tratamentos e 4 repetições. Os tratamentos implantados foram: T1: Sem irrigação com adubação convencional, T2: Fertirrigada sem vinhaça, T3: Fertirrigada com ½ dose Cetesb (176 m³ ha-1), T4: Fertirrigada com dose Cetesb (352 m³ ha-1), T5: Fertirrigada com 2x dose Cetesb (704 m³ ha-1) e T6: Fertirrigada com 3x dose Cetesb (1056 m³ ha-1). A aplicação de vinhaça foi feita aos tratamentos em um intervalo de tempo quinzenal. As avaliações foram feitas no início e ao final do ciclo da cultura nas camadas de 0,00-0,20 m; 0,20-0,40 m; 0,40-0,60 m e 0,60-0,80 m. Diante dos resultados obtidos pôde-se concluir que a distribuição dos íons está diretamente relacionada com o volume de aplicação da vinhaça e de uma maneira geral houve um aumento dos valores de pH e CE no solo, diante do aumento do volume aplicado, mas evidenciou-se a necessidade de um maior intervalo de tempo para a percepção de suas diferenças. As características físicas do solo não apresentaram variações significativas diante da aplicação de vinhaça, mesmo com altos valores de concentração, durante o primeiro ano de avaliação, porém, sugerese também um maior intervalo de tempo de aplicação e avaliação. O gotejador independente do tratamento não apresentou nenhum tipo de entupimento diante da aplicação de vinhaça e notou-se um aumento da produtividade de cana-de-açucar diante da aplicação de vinhaça, via gotejamento subsuperficial.
The increase in sugarcane production in Brazil shows a great relevance to the current agribusiness scenario of the country. However, it may also result in an increase of the by-product generation from sugar mills. Among these by-products, the vinasse stands out because of its diverse nutrient composition and its use in the sugarcane production as a fertilizer. Given the large volume of vinasse produced and their application in sugarcane fields, there is a need to study fate and transport of different chemical constituents of vinasse through the soil profile to prevent groundwater contamination. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the distribution of important chemical components of vinasse (nitrate, potassium, calcium, sulfur and sodium), to evaluate the variation of soil chemical properties (pH and electric cconductivity (EC)), to verify the occurrence of physico-chemical property (grain size, hydraulic conductivity and soil moisture at field capacity) variation in Nitosol soil, as well to evaluate the clogging in drip irrigation system and sugarcane yield under vinasse application by subsurface drip irrigation during first sugarcane cycle. The research was carried out at the experimental site of the Department of Biosystems Engineering (ESALQ/USP), in completely randomized experimental design with six treatments and four replications. The treatments deployed were: T1: no irrigation with conventional fertilization, T2: fertigated without vinasse, T3: fertigated with ½ Cetesb dose (176 m³ ha-1), T4: fertigated Cetesb dose (352 m³ ha- 1), T5: fertigated with 2x Cetesb dose (704 m³ ha-1), and T6: fertigated with 3x dose Cetesb (1056 m³ ha-1). The vinasse treatment were applied on a biweekly basis. Chemical transport and soil sample analysis were done at the beginning and the end of the cycle in four layers, each with thickness of 0.2 m. Based on these results, it is concluded that the ions distribution is directly related to the application volume of vinasse and in general, there was an increase in pH and EC in the soil, in relation to the increase in the applied volume. Since the duration of this study was one year, the experiments with larger time interval might show a distinct relationship between variation in soil chemical properties and the volume of vinasse applied. However, the analysis did not show significant variation in soil physical characteristics before and after the application of vinasse, even with high concentration values during the first year of the study. This indicates a need for a longer time of application and evaluation. The drip irrigation system used for vinasse application did not show any kind of clogging during the study period and the sugarcane yield increased with vinasse application by subsurface drip irrigation.

Abstract:
Nine physically and chemically different soil samples from five study sites in which agaves grew, or were grown, were investigated to evaluate the effects of soil physical and chemical properties on the growth habits of agaves. In five Arizona study sites, biomass data of seven agave species has been recorded for the past ten years. Agaves were grown experimentally in the greenhouse using two widely different soil types from the five sites to evaluate growth under controlled conditions. Influence of edaphic factors on agave growth for the study sites and greenhouse experiment was evaluated. The results show that the determinant primary factors were water availability and temperature. Soil texture, soil pH, soil CO2 concentration, nitrogen, and soluble salt concentration were placed as influential secondary factors for the growth of agave. The degree of influence of these soil factors depends highly upon the genetic characteristics of agave species.

Abstract:
The use of fire in rangeland has become standard practice for decades; however, there is no shared understanding of how fire affects soil properties. The exact relationship between fire and soil properties is still yet to be understood. The differences in fire frequency, fire intensity, fire severity, the period between fire and sampling resulted in contradictory results amongst studies. A long-term trial at the University of Fort Hare provides a valuable experimental layout for fire research. The trial was established in 1980 with the aim of investigating the effect of burning frequency on vegetation species composition and biomass production. The objective of this study was however to determine the effect of fire management on soil chemical and physical properties under the long-term burning experiment. The treatments of the study site were: no burn (K), annual (B1), biennial (B2), triennial (B3), quadrennial (B4) and sexennial (B6) burns. A line intercept sampling technique was used to collect the soil samples from the surface (0 to 75 mm) for both chemical and physical analysis. All Burning treatments significantly (p < 0.05) increased the bulk density (Db), soil pH, total cations, Magnesium (Mg) and Calcium (Ca), but reduced the soil porosity and exchangeable acidity when compared to the control. Hydraulic conductivity (Ks), water conducting macroporosity (WCM) and total nitrogen were reduced under more frequent burning treatments (B1, B2), as compared to less frequent burning treatments (B3, B4, B6). The aggregate stability showed an opposite trend. Total organic carbon (TOC) was reduced only under annual burning treatment. Burning frequencies did not impact the extractable Phosphorus (p), Potassium (K), Sodium, soil water repellency and water content significantly (P > 0.05). The risk associated with annual burning showed in this study might facilitate processes such as overflow that lead to soil degradation. Triennial burning in rangeland ecosystem supports soil conservation practices. Further studies that measure the quality of rangeland in triennial burning is necessary.

Abstract:
A vast number of sites that have been contaminated by industrial activities have been identified worldwide. Many such sites now pose serious risks to humans and the environment. Given the large number of contaminated sites there is a great need for efficient, cost-effective  remediation methods. Extensive research has therefore been focused on the development of such methods. However, the remediation of old industrial sites is challenging, for several reasons. One major  problem is that organic contaminants become increasingly strongly sequestered as they persist in the soil matrix for a long period of time. This process is often referred to as ‘aging’, and leads to decreasing availability of the contaminants, which also affects the remediation efficiency. In the work underlying this thesis, the influence of soil and contaminant properties on the efficiency of various physical and chemical soil remediation methods was investigated. The investigated contaminants were polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Briefly, the results show that as the size of soil particles decreases the contaminants become more strongly sorbed to the soil’s matrix, probably due to the accompanying increases in specific surface area. This affected the efficiency of the removal of organic pollutants by both a process based on solvent washing and processes based on chemical oxidation. The sorption strength is also affected by the hydrophobicity of the contaminants. However, for a number of the investigated PAHs their chemical reactivity was found to be of greater importance for the degradation efficiency. Further, the organic content of a soil is often regarded as the most important soil parameter for adsorption of hydrophobic compounds. In these studies the effect of this parameter was found to be particularly pronounced for the oxidation of low molecular weight PAHs, but larger PAHs were strongly adsorbed even at low levels of organic matter. However, for these PAHs the degradation efficiency was positively correlated to the amount of degraded organic matter, probably due to the organic matter being oxidized to smaller and less hydrophobic forms. The amount of organic matter in the soil had little effect on the removal efficiency obtained by the solvent-washing process. However, it had strong influence on the performance of a subsequent, granular activated carbon-based post-treatment of the washing liquid. In conclusion, the results in this thesis show that remediation of contaminated soils is a complex process, the efficiency of which will be affected by the soil matrix as well as the properties of the contaminants present at the site. However, by acquiring thorough knowledge of the parameters affecting the treatability of a soil it is possible to select appropriate remediation methods, and optimize them in terms of both remediation efficiency and costs for site- and contaminant-specific applications.

Abstract:
Rapid population growth and urbanization in semi-arid and arid regions has led to alterations in the water, carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) cycles (Gallo et al. 2014), prompting demands for mitigation strategies. Green Infrastructure (GI) is one of the methods used in urban storm water mitigation that delays and attenuates stormwater runoff by storing water in vegetated depressions. In the Southwest these depressions, also called bioswales, have the potential to act as biogeochemical hot spots, encouraging nutrient cycling, infiltration, plant growth, and microbial activity (McClain et al. 2003). An influx of water to GI initiates a combination of physical and microbial processes that result in increased CO2 efflux and N mineralization known as the Birch Effect (Birch, 1958). This study examines GI in Tucson, AZ through inducing an artificial precipitation regime and determining how soil properties, GI design, and biogeochemical characteristics influence the response. In natural systems it has been shown that soil moisture, soil properties, organic matter, length of dry period, nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen, and microbial biomass influence soil respiration and nitrogen mineralization (Borken and Matzner 2009). The purpose of this study is to determine the role that the Birch Effect plays in urban stormwater GI. Additionally we seek to determine how soil and nutrient properties and precipitation regime affect the amplitude of the response. It was found that soils from GI features tend to have higher concentrations of organic matter, total carbon, and total nitrogen, as well as higher water holding capacity and lower bulk density. It was also shown that soils originating from GI features tend to illicit a greater CO2 flux upon rewetting than soils from adjacent areas. The linear relationships found between % clay, pH, bulk density, WHC, SOM, TC, and TN suggest that the reason for the greater response to wetting is due to the altered physiochemical composition. The results of this study can be utilized to increase microbial activity and remediation in urban GI features. This fits into the larger goal of GI to help mitigate many of the issues associated with Urban Stream Syndrome (USS) such as flashier hydrography response, increased nutrient and contaminant concentrations, increased erosion, altered channel morphology and reduced biodiversity (Meyers et al. 2005).

Abstract:
In 1998, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) adopted standards for soil handling and amendments to improve created non-tidal wetland soil conditions. This study was conducted in sites where these new reconstruction practices were supposedly being implemented. Specific objectives were (i) to determine the relative effects of soil reconstruction practices on mitigation site soils, (ii) to assess the degree to which hydric soil indicators were present, and (iii) to evaluate the relative edaphic potential of mitigation site soils. Soil physical, chemical and morphological properties were analyzed in ten mitigation wetlands located in Virginiaâ s Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Surface soil pH was high due to liming, although some sites demonstrated low subsoil pH, indicating the presence of sulfidic materials. Nutrient levels varied, while C:N ratios were low (<25:1), suggesting a high quality organic matter complex. Organic amendments were generally applied at a rate of 4% soil organic matter content. Actual measured carbon content was <2.6% (<50 Mg ha-1). Sites not receiving organic materials and associated tillage had root-limiting bulk densities at the surface, while the majority of sites had root-limiting subsoil (30 cm) bulk densities due to weakly developed soil structure and a lack of deep ripping practices. Many sites also contained high sand content (>50%), which may negatively affect other soil properties. Nine sites had confirmed Hydric Soil Indicators, with their occurrence in a site as high as 70%. Soil reconstruction methods need to incorporate higher organic amendment rates and/or routine disking/ripping practices to improve mitigation wetland soil conditions.

The influence of parent material on physical and chemical properties of soil was studied on granite and schist derived soils on the Syferkuil Experimental Farm, situated in the Mankweng area of the Limpopo Province of South Africa. A total of 49 samples of virgin soils were collected, where granite soils constituted 26 samples and schist soils 23. The study design that was used is cross-sectional. The samples were analysed for physical and chemical properties. The physical properties of granite and schist soils were determined as percentages coarse sand, percentages medium sand, percentages fine sand, percentages very fine sand, percentages silt and percentages clay, whilst the chemical properties were determined as concentrations (cmol (+) kg-1) of Na, Mg, Ca, K ,ESP, CEC and P (mg kg-1), as well as pH. Statistical analysis of the results was performed by application of the Unpaired Student’s T Test, with the level of significance at p<0.05. The results showed that soils derived from granite had significantly higher coarse and medium sand fractions than schist soils; whereas schist soils were significantly higher in fine sand, very fine sand, silt and clay. The concentrations of Na, Ca, ESP and P, as well as CEC and pH in schist derived soils were higher than in granite derived soils although the differences were insignificant. However, significant differences occurred in K and Mg concentrations where schist derived soils had higher concentrations than granite derived soils. However, the concentrations of nutrient elements were found to be insufficient for proper production in agriculture. The sodium concentration was found to be low enough to not lead to sodic soil conditions. It was concluded that both granite and schist soils can be used for agriculture but require careful management because both soils indicated poor nutritional status.

Abstract:
Thesis (MSc. (Soil Science)) -- University of Limpopo, 2015
There exists a considerable level of spatial variability in soil physical and chemical properties within the research block; and the soils are generally shallow. Of all the measured parameters, electrical conductivity, Bray-1 P, exchangeable potassium, calcium and sodium as well as extractable iron and zinc showed a huge percent of variation across the field. Soil variability maps indicated the degree of variability within the research block. The spatial variability of the characterized parameters was significant across the research block. A correlation study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the measured soil physical and chemical properties. Regular soil analyses should be conducted to avoid failure/delay of experiments. It is recommended that inputs such as irrigation and fertilizer application must be varied based on varying soil conditions across the research block.

Abstract:
Wildland fires are occurring more frequently and affecting more of Earth's surface than ever before. These fires affect the properties of soils and the processes by which they form, but the nature of these impacts has not been well understood. Given that healthy soil is necessary to sustain biodiversity, ecosystems and agriculture, the impact of fire on soil is a vital field of research. Fire Effects on Soil Properties brings together current research on the effects of fire on the physical, biological and chemical properties of soil. Written by over 60 international experts in the field, it includes examples from fire-prone areas across the world, dealing with ash, meso and macrofauna, smouldering fires, recurrent fires and management of fire-affected soils. It also describes current best practice methodologies for research and monitoring of fire effects and new methodologies for future research. This is the first time information on this topic has been presented in a single volume and the book will be an important reference for students, practitioners, managers and academics interested in the effects of fire on ecosystems, including soil scientists, geologists, forestry researchers and environmentalists.

Abstract:
Many physical-chemical properties affecting microbes are familiar to ecologists examining large organisms in our visible world. This chapter starts by reviewing the basics of these properties, such as the importance of water for microbes in soils and temperature in all environments. Another important property, pH, has direct effects on organisms and indirect effects via how hydrogen ions determine the chemical form of key molecules and compounds in nature. Oxygen content is also critical, as it is essential to the survival of all but a few eukaryotes. Light is used as an energy source by phototrophs, but it can have deleterious effects on microbes. In addition to these familiar factors, the small size of microbes sets limits on their physical world. Microbes are said to live in a “low Reynolds number environment”. When the Reynolds number is smaller than about one, viscous forces dominate over inertial forces. For a macroscopic organism like us, moving in a low Reynolds number environment would seem like swimming in molasses. Microbes in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats live in a low Reynolds number world, one of many similarities between the two environments at the microbial scale. Most notably, even soil microbes live in an aqueous world, albeit a thin film of water on soil particles. But the soil environment is much more heterogeneous than water, with profound consequences for biogeochemical processes and interactions among microbes. The chapter ends with a discussion of how the physical-chemical environment of microbes in biofilms is quite different from that of free-living organisms.

Full text
Abstract:
The Australian Soil Fertility Manual is a trusted guide to the safe use and handling of fertilizers. It describes the types of agricultural soils, how they are classified and the interaction of soil, water and nutrients. It also provides an insight into how plants utilise nutrients and the role that individual nutrients play in the process of plant growth. This edition has been revised to reflect an increased emphasis on the environmental fate of nutrients and appropriate management strategies. It also has additional information on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties and discussions on the use of lime, dolomite and gypsum. New content covers liming effectiveness, nitrogen water use efficiency, regulations for handling and using fertilizers, storage and transport of security sensitive ammonium nitrate, budgeting for profitable nitrogen use and best management practice for nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers. The chapters on potassium; calcium, magnesium and sulfur; plant nutrients and the environment; and heavy metal in fertilizers and agriculture have all been extensively revised and rewritten. This important work will be an essential text for fertilizer dealers, extension workers, consultants, teachers, farmers, horticulturists, graziers and others concerned with the profitable and environmentally safe use of plant nutrients.

Abstract:
This essential reference provides an introduction to the remarkable soils and landscapes of Australia. It reveals their great diversity and explains why an understanding of soil properties and landscape processes should guide our use of the land. Using striking photographs of characteristic landscapes, it begins by describing the basic properties of soils and how Australia's distinctive soils and landscapes have co-evolved. We gain a greater understanding of why particular soils occur at certain locations and how soil variation can influence landscape processes, agricultural productivity and ecosystem function. The book explains the impact of various forms of land use and the changes they can bring about in soil. This is followed by an invaluable compendium that describes and illustrates over 100 of the more important and widespread soils of Australia, along with their associated landscapes. There is a brief account of each soil's environment, usage and qualities as well as details on chemical and physical properties so we can make more informed decisions about appropriate land-use. Australian Soils and Landscapes will be a valuable resource for farmers, natural resource managers, soil and environmental scientists, students and anyone with an interest in Australia's unique environment.
