Key areas of study within soil science include soil genesis, soil morphology, soil microbiology, soil mechanics, and agricultural soil science. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of soil science and how such concepts have practical applications. It provides comprehensive insights into the field. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
