The soils of Mexico have still not been completely studied, and there are few publications available on this subject. This book provides a state-of-the-art view on Mexican soils, their geographical distribution, their use and degradation. This is a first attempt to give a systematized characteristic of the soil resources of Mexico. Land resources of the second-biggest economy in Latin America are critical for its sustainable development, and a demand for adequate soil information is high. The information contained within can be used for any soil-related research done in Mexico and in neighboring countries. The book includes detailed characteristics of soils of all the physiographic regions of Mexico with maps, photos and explanatory schemes. The book is based on the experiences of the authors in research and soil survey, as well as on the existent, mainly ?grey? literature on Mexican soils. The book is recommended for researchers and university readers, students of all levels and decision-makers, working in the area of soil science, environmental issues, earth sciences, land management and nature conservation. 410 0$aWorld Soils Book Series,$x2211-1255 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 607 $aMexico$2fast 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 14$aSoil Science & Conservation. 676 $a312.8 676 $a631.4972 700 $aKrasilnikov$b Pavel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061253 702 $aGutiérrez-Castorena$b Ma. del Carmen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aAhrens$b Robert J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aCruz-Gaistardo$b Carlos Omar$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSedov$b Sergey$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSolleiro-Rebolledo$b Elizabeth$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437794003321 996 $aThe Soils of Mexico$92518074 997 $aUNINA
