Scaling Methods in Soil Physics
Editat de Yakov Pachepsky, David E. Radcliffe, H. Magdi Selimen Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 mar 2003
The authors present the state-of-the-art in addressing the fundamental scale-bridging problem and provide case studies crossing several levels of scale hierarchy. Scaling Methods in Soil Physics offers novel approaches based on geostatistics, artificial intelligence, wavelet transforms, fractal theory, soil-landscape relationships, computer simulations, and advances in theories of scale developed and tested to facilitate the use of soil physics data in a wide variety of soil/land/earth-related applications.

Recenzii
"This excellent book comprising 20 chapters deals with spatial scaling of soil processes and soil properties. … All contributors are acknowledged experts. The content of the book is well balanced, with all chapters informative and highly relevant. The topics of each chapter are illustrated by interesting examples, with well-chosen informative figures. … [T]his book is an excellent starting point for anyone who would like to contribute to the development of this topic. I therefore strongly recommend it, to researchers and doctoral students in soil physics and hydrology in particular, but anyone working with environmental models will benefit from reading it."

Descriere
The representation of processes at a scale different from the one at which observations and property measurements are made remains a huge challenge in soil science and hydrology. Scaling Methods in Soil Physics covers many methods of scaling that are useful to scientists across a range of soil-related disciplines. An excellent single-source reference in this developing field, this book will help readers develop a greater understanding of how to interpret various remote sensing data, delineate management zones in agricultural fields, and estimate water yield and geochemical fluxes in watersheds, among other applications. It provides numerous tables and illustrations as well as 280 equations.
