Klappentext Presents a holistic view of the processes within the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. This book covers the processes in the soil-plant system, including the fundamental processes of soil formation, degradation, and the dynamics of water and matter. It illustrates how simulation modeling can be used to understand. Zusammenfassung Presents a holistic view of the processes within the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum.
