This chapter focuses on the properties of soils, especially those properties that relate to their environmental significance. It investigates the fundamental physical and chemical properties of soils and the concept of soil profiles. It also examines three specific profiles: Spodosol, Alfisol, and Vertisol and looks at issues related to soil chemistry ...

Soil properties indicative for quality

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1983
Even within the small territory of The Netherlands, soil properties show a considerable diversity. A number of soil types, such as clay soil, peat soil, and sandy soil can be distinguished with several transitions and mixtures in between. All these soil types can be characterized by their physical and chemical properties. As such features as structure,

Magnetic Properties of Soils

2020
In addition to pedogenesis, thermodynamic state changes induced by fire contribute to transformations of iron minerals that in turn generate magnetic enhancement of the ground. Some of these new minerals are nanometric markers of fire-related practices that can be detect by magnetic methods, even in trace levels.

Soil Microbiological Properties

2016
Microorganisms are the smallest living systems, but their activities are numerous. They represent the largest and most diverse biotic group in soil. Fertile soil usually contains 106–109 bacteria per gram of soil (Tugel and Lewandowski 1999). They play a vital role in soil texture by their organic secretions.
