Rapid advances in tomography and imaging techniques and their successful application in soil and plant science are changing our sciences today. Many more articles using imaging and tomography are being published currently compared to 20 years ago. Soil-Water-Root Processes: Advances in Tomography and Imaging is a unique assemblage of contributions exploring applications of imaging and tomography systems in soil science--it provides an updated collection of X-ray computed tomography, synchrotron microtomography, neutron imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, geophysical imaging tools, and other tomography techniques for evaluating soils and roots. Exciting new procedures and applications have been developed, with the promise to propel forward our understanding of soil and plant properties and processes.

Über den Autor / die Autorin
Anderson wrote this book as a simple visual tool to make clear that while appearing normal, living with Chronic Fatigue is a life-changing and controlling disease with a complex combination and fluctuation of symptoms that cannot be seen.
Adjusting to change, letting go of control, focusing on wellbeing, practicing yoga, and simply trusting and accepting what is has been a profound learning experience for Anderson.
