1.2 Content
In this book, we will begin with consideration of soil patterns, structure, and texture across multiple spatial scales; then walk through the processes of the soil water balance and the surface energy balance, step-by-step. Along the way, we will address most of the soil physics topics included in the Soil Science Fundamentals Exam Performance Objectives defined by the Soil Science Society of America’s Council of Soil Science Examiners (available here). Someone who learns the content in this book should be well-prepared for the soil physics portion of that professional examination.
