This Second Edition of Encyclopedia of Soils in the Environment updates and expand the previous version to ensure coverage of topics relevant to current world problems such as population pressure, food security and global change. Since publication of the previous edition there has been a huge change in our ability to carry out bioinformatics related to soil organisms and their functioning. Major developments in next generation DNA sequencing techniques have opened up the ability to identify both the diversity of microbial populations and their functioning. Furthermore, it is allowing the management of microbes within the soil. Imaging is changing our perceptions and improving our knowledge of soil aggregation. This also applies to remote and proximal sensing of laboratory and field soils, which is seeing rapid change. Soil physics is a core area of soil science, but new techniques and technology have increased our understanding of processes. This reference work coves the entire field o
