This Encyclopedia of Agrophysics provides up-to-date information on the physical properties and processes affecting the quality of the environment and plant production. It is a first-up volume which will nicely complement the recently published Encyclopedia of Soil Science (November 2007) which was published in the same series.§In a single authoritative volume a collection of about 250 informative articles and ca 400 glossary terms covering all aspects of agrophysics are presented. The authors represent renowned specialists in various disciplines in agrophysics from a wide variety of countries.§Agrophysics is important both for research and practical use not only in agriculture, but also in areas like environmental science, land reclamation, food processing etc.§Agrophysics is a relatively new interdisciplinary field closely related to Agrochemistry, Agrobiology, Agroclimatology and Agroecology. Nowadays it has been fully accepted as an agricultural and environmental discipline. As such this Encyclopedia volume will be an indispensable working tool for scientists and practitioners from different disciplines, like agriculture, soil science, geosciences, environmental science, geography, and engineering.
