Reviews

""The unique nature of this book will make it a must for libraries that serve soil scientists and agricultural researchers, especially those studying wetland soils. While many books cover soil organic matter or Histosols, few focus on peat as a distinct soil type. Overall, this quality work fills a niche in a large soil or agricultural research collection."" - Journal of Agricultural and Food Information, Vol. 5, No. 1, 2003 Promo Copy
