The analysis treats Cryosols as a three-part system (active layer, transition layer, permafrost). The book considers soil-forming factors, cryogenic processes, and classification and distribution of Cryosols. Cryosols of the Arctic, Antarctica, and the high mountains are considered in detail. The chapters address cryosols and earth-system science, cryosols in a changing climate, cryosols databases and their use, and management of cryosols. The book is rich in color photographs and highlights the author?s 43 field trips to Antarctica, the Arctic, and alpine areas. 410 0$aProgress in Soil Science,$x2352-4774 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aPolar regions 606 $aEarth System Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35000 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aPolar Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16020 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aPolar regions. 615 14$aEarth System Sciences. 615 24$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aPolar Geography. 676 $a55 676 $a550 676 $a631.4 676 $a919.8 700 $aBockheim$b James G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01023972 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299452603321 996 $aCryopedology$92498469 997 $aUNINA
