Soil and Environmental Science Dictionary Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The lingo of soil science is a language unto itself. Soil and Environmental Science Dictionary is a glossary of terms used in soil and environmental science, including terms from related disciplines. Designed for teachers, students, researchers and others interested or involved in environmental sciences related to soils, this compilation includes all terms and definitions from the current Canadian Society of Soil Science (CSSS) glossary as well as from various other sources such as the Soil Science Society of America and the Soil and Water Conservation Society. Soil and Environmental Science Dictionary defines terms accurately and clearly for professionals working in areas such as agronomy, building construction, civil engineering, forestry, environmental science and planning, geology, hydrology, petrology, and plant science.

Book News Annotation:

The dictionary combines the conventional vocabulary of soil science with those of the many disciplines that overlap it, among them geology, hydrology, and meteorology. Thirty reviewers from the various fields reviewed, selected and updated definitions combed from a variety of sources, including several existing glossaries and dictionaries. The sponsoring organization being the Canadian Society of Soil Science, French equivalents are given for the English terms. There is no indication of pronunciation.
