Bücher von Bruce D. Velde

This book provides basic tools to understand relations between plants and soil. It also details methods to interpret x-ray diffraction spectra used to identify clay minerals.

This monograph examines the mineralogy of illite, the most common clay mineral, as a unifying theme for understanding problems of the surface environment and environmental change. Using illite as the frame, the authors describe problems in soil chemistry, clay stability and clay kinetics in sedimentary rocks.
