The collision by oblique plate convergence began at around 5 to 6 million years and is ongoing with  continual crustal shortening and widespread seismic activities. As a result Taiwan has very diverse environmental conditions and consists of five geologic provinces from west to east namely the coastal plain, western foothills, central range, longitudinal valley and coastal range.  Besides this there is also  the elevation change from sea level to about 4000 meter above sea level. This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview on the soils of Taiwan which includes sections on soil research, history, climate, geology, geomorphology, major soil types, soil maps, soil properties, soil classification, soil fertility, land use and vegetation, soil management, soils and humans, soils and industry as well as future soil issues. It summarizes what is known about the soils in Taiwan in a concise and highly reader-friendly way which makes this latest volume in the World Soil series accessible to a broad audience. 410 0$aWorld Soils Book Series,$x2211-1255 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aGeoecology 606 $aEnvironmental geology 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aPhysical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000 606 $aGeoecology/Natural Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U21006 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aGeoecology. 615 0$aEnvironmental geology. 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 14$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aGeoecology/Natural Processes. 615 24$aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences. 676 $a333.7 676 $a624.151 676 $a630 676 $a631.4 676 $a910.02 700 $aChen$b Zueng-Sang$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058778 702 $aHseu$b Zeng-Yei$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aTsai$b Chen-Chi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299429303321 996 $aThe Soils of Taiwan$92502447 997 $aUNINA
