Sixth Edition
by William A. Jury
and Robert Horton

The completely revised and updated edition of the classic guide to soil physics!

The revised edition of an environmental soil science classic, Soil Physics presents updated and expanded material on the latest developments in the industry, providing the best preparation for students and a state-of-the-art reference for professionals.

Through a systemic use of physical principles, this book demonstrates how to simplify the general theory used in transport processes for specific applications. With broad coverage of the role soil plays in the environment, the Sixth Edition offers more than seventy worked problems illustrating specific lessons in the book, and features:

• New material on soil’s influence on the health of an ecosystem
• Expanded coverage of modern in-site and noninvasive field-scale subsurface measurement techniques
• Discussions on the latest advances in regional and watershed hydrology
• Up-to-date information on the use of algorithms and computers in the study and modeling of soil processes
• New coverage of preferential flow

Soil Physics 6th Edition is an essential volume for students and professionals in soil science, natural resource management, forestry, agriculture, hydrology, and civil and environmental engineering.
