A Glossary of Soil Sciences

Studies of soils have specialized into several branches of soil sciences. Science is specific even in its wordings. Terminology of any science faculty assumes its prime significance because it's a mirror of its advancement. As the faculty grows knowledge wise new terminologies infiltrate with its specified meanings. It's a never-ending process. Therefore it is always a part of the faculty improvement to prepare a glossary of that particular branch time by time. Soil science is not an exception in this regard.
I think we have glossaries of fertilizers and biofertilizers from the Indian publishers. But there is an empty space in our library racks for single volume exclusively dedicated to glossary of soil sciences. This particular document entitled 11 A Glossary of Soil Sciences" will fill up the gap and serve as a good reference book to all those who have some bearing with soil sciences. Our group working at the department of Biochemistry in Junagadh Agricultural University consists of a versatile faculty members. Every year they are contributing valuable documents for publication. This is an outcome of their extra hours of working. They might have sacrificed several holidays and might have worked up to late nights to put up this useful collection. I congratulate them all
for this effort and hope that they will continue their contribution in this direction.
