Contents:

pt. 1. Soil genesis -- pt. 2. Hydromorphic soils -- pt. 3. Paleosols -- pt. 4. Archeology -- pt. 5. General pedology -- pt. 6. Soil biota -- pt. 7. Soil structure -- pt. 8. Soil management -- pt. 9. Surface crusts -- pt. 10. Harpans and cemented layers.

Summary: The papers in this volume cover micromorphological studies of a wide variety of topics, at various scales from ultramicro- to mesoscopic. Topics included are:soil management; soil structure; surface crusts; hardpans and cemented layers; soil biota; soil genesis; hydromorphic soils; paleosols; archeology; and general pedology. The range of papers reflects the growing use of soil micromorphology in understanding soil problems in land-use and the increasing use of quantitative techniques, together with more traditional applications in pedology. The book is well illustrated with micrographs and contains both author and keyword indices.
