This laboratory manual is an ideal supplementary text for introductory soil science courses. A revision of an earlier edition, it serves to emphasise the importance of soils in producing crops, in serving as a buffer in the environment and as a building medium, and in a multitude of other uses.
"A good introductory soils lab manual. It will be an important reference for teachers and students in introductory soils."--Robert Darmody, University of Illinois "I see a few exercises that I am not currently doing, which might be useful. I also see some useful modifications to the way I am currently doing some labs."--James O'Rourke, Chadron State College "An excellent lab manual!"--Robert Sorensen, University of Nebraska "Comprehensive and easy to use. It focuses on important concepts."--Robert Graham, University of California at Riverside "Palmer and Troeh have provided a broad and brief manual for soils laboratory, introducing students to the technical aspects of investigating soils and soil properties. A good footing for all students of the environment."--Rick Williams, Ferrum College "A good introductory soils lab manual.
