Rain or Shine: An Introduction to Soil Physical Properties and Processes (CRPSCI 036)

This book is a multi-faceted learning resource for people who want or need to learn introductory concepts of soil physics. Soil physics is a scientific discipline focused on using the principles and techniques of physics to understand: the properties of the soil, the processes which occur in and on soils, and how those properties and processes were, are, or would be affected by changes in environment or management.
