Thermodynamics of Soil Nutrient Bioavailability Sustainable Soil Nutrient Management

This book focusses on the thermodynamics of soil nutrient bioavailability, and in particular the most important plant nutrients such as, phosphorus and potassium, among major nutrients, and zinc among micronutrients. It proposes a paradigm shift in the approach to global soil testing procedures. His...
