Autor Bryant Chad Scharenbroch, Susan Downing Day
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2021
Urban Soils: Properties and Managementprovides up-to-date information on the physical, chemical, biological and mineralogical characteristics of urban soils. The majority of the world’s population lives in cities and their associated developed areas, bringing attention to the need for sustainable city management. Urban soils are the base support system for green infrastructure, which is necessary for liveable city initiatives. Scientists face considerable challenges in this area as societal expectations now include healthy urban green infrastructure, protection of the public from environmental contaminants, and sustainable use of natural resources such as soils. Through this book, scientists will gain a better understanding of urban soil classification, management and reclamation in urban environments.Urban Soils: Properties and Managementis accessible to those without extensive soils knowledge, as it covers the basics of urban soil conditions as well as the management of urban soils for natural and constructed green infrastructure.


  • Includes real-world scenarios to clearly illustrate how to apply the knowledge contained within the book
  • Provides up-to-date scientific literature researchers can use as a solid reference tool
  • Covers the basics of urban soil conditions as well as the management of urban soils for natural and constructed green infrastructure
