This text, aimed at upper-division undergraduate students, begins by defining the relationship among soil chemistry and other fields, such as plant science and pollution science. A detailed description of the components of soils follows, including inorganic, mineral, and organic matter. The book addresses cogent issues, such as soil fertility and soil pollution. The concluding chapter reviews future analytic advances in the study of soil chemistry, emphasizing the importance of the soil chemist in equitable and sustainable land use and agricultural policy.

Laboratory phonology uses speech data to research questions about the abstract categorical structures of phonology. This collection of papers broadly addresses three such questions: What structures underlie the temporal coordination of articulatory gestures? What is the proper role of segments and features in phonological description? and What structures--hierarchical or otherwise--relate morphosyntax to prosody? In order to encourage the interdisciplinary understanding required for progress in this field, each of the three groups of papers is preceded by a tutorial paper (commissioned for...

This book focuses on the important binding properties of these compounds which regulate the chemical reactivity and bioavailability of hydrogen and metal ions in the natural environment. Topics covered include the physico-chemical properties of humic matter and interactions of protons and metal cations with weak acids and macromolecules. Experimental laboratory methods are also discussed, together with mathematical modelling. Finally the author looks at how the results of this research can be used to interpret environmental phenomena in soils, waters and sediments.

The increased UV radiation on Earth has far-reaching consequences. This book provides a comprehensive review of UV radiation effects in the marine environment. A team of respected contributors provide multidisciplinary coverage, discussing all aspects from a physical, chemical and biological perspective. The book begins by describing the attenuation of UV radiation in the atmosphere and sea water, outlining the photochemical reactions involved and highlighting the role that such chemistry can play in influencing the biogeochemical cycling of various elements. Coverage then goes on to detail...

The new edition of this textbook introduces the basic chemical concepts underlying a sound understanding of environmental science and ecology. Chapters contain explanations of fundamental chemical principles and include illustrations of real examples from the environment. From an introduction to atomic and molecular structure, the text progresses to more advanced areas within physical, inorganic, organic, and analytical chemistry. Important new sections include an introduction to the concepts of biogeochemical cycling, and the role environmental chemistry plays with respect to climate,...
