The book addresses the growing interest in soil micromorphology in the fields of soil science, earth science, archaeology and forensic science, and serves as a reference tool for researchers and students for fast learning and intuitive feature and structure recognition. The book is divided into six parts and contains hundreds of images and photomicrographs. Part one is devoted to the way to sample properly soils, the method of preparation of thin sections, the main tool of soil micromorphology (the microscope), and the approach of soil micromorphology as a scientific method. Part two focuses on the organisation of soil fragments and presents the concept of fabric. Part three addresses the basic components, e.g. rocks, minerals, organic compounds and anthropogenic features. Part four lists all the various types of pedogenic features observed in a soil, i.e. the imprint of pedogenesis. Part five gives interpretations of features associated with the main processes at work in soils and paleosols. Part six presents a view of what the future of soil micromorphology could be. Finally, the last part consists of the index and annexes, including the list of mineral formulas. This atlas will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students, who will find it a convenient tool for the self-teaching of soil micromorphology by using comparative photographs. 606 $aSoil science, sedimentology$2bicssc 606 $aGeological surface processes (geomorphology)$2bicssc 606 $aMineralogy & gems$2bicssc 610 $aSoil micromorphology 610 $aSoil fragments 610 $aFabric 610 $aMicrostructures 610 $aPedogenic features 610 $aBiominerals 610 $aOpen access 615 7$aSoil science, sedimentology 615 7$aGeological surface processes (geomorphology) 615 7$aMineralogy & gems 700 $aVerrecchia$b Eric P$01076570 701 $aTrombino$b Luca$01240120 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910494568903321 996 $aA Visual Atlas for Soil Micromorphologists$92876798 997 $aUNINA
