Sommario/riassunto

Based on research carried out at the Academia Sinica over the past 30 years, this book explains the basic difference between the variable charge soils of tropical and subtropical regions, and the constant charge soils of temperate regions. It focuses on the chemical properties of the variable charge soils - properties which have important bearing on soil management practices - including maximizing soil productivity



and negating soil pollution.
