Handbook of Soil Sciences: Resource Management and Environmental Impacts, Second EditionPan Ming Huang, Yuncong Li, Malcolm E. Sumner An evolving, living organic/inorganic covering, soil is in dynamic equilibrium with the atmosphere above, the biosphere within, and the geology below. It acts as an anchor for roots, a purveyor of water and nutrients, a residence for a vast community of microorganisms and animals, a sanitizer of the environment, and a source of raw materials for co |
