About the Book

The scaling issue remains one of the largest problems in soil science and hydrology. This book is a unique compendium of ideas, conceptual approaches, techniques, and methodologies for scaling soil physical properties. Scaling Methods in Soil Physics covers many methods of scaling that will be useful in helping scientists across a range of soil-related disciplines. The first single-source reference in this developing field, the text will help readers develop a greater understanding of how to interpret remote sensing data, delineate management zones in agricultural fields, and estimate water yield and geochemical fluxes in watersheds, among other applications. 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.

Table of Contents:
The PSF Model of Soil Structure: A Multiscale Approach. Scaling and Multiscaling of Soil Pore Systems Determined by Image Analysis. Scaling and Estimating the Soil Water Characteristic Using a One-Parameter Model. Diffusion Scaling in Low Connectivity Porous Media. Solute Transport in Porous Media: Scale Effects. A Pedotransfer Function for Predicting Solute Dispersivity: Model Testing and Upscaling. Upscaling of Hydraulic Properties of Heterogeneous Soils. Spatial Variability of Soil Moisture and Its Implications for Scaling. An Evaluation of Interpolation Methods for Local Estimation of Solute Concentration. Scale- and Location-Dependent Soil Hydraulic Properties in a Hummocky Landscape: A Wavelet Approach. Multiple Scale Conditional Simulation. Effects of Topography, Soil Properties and Mean Soil Moisture on the Spatial Distribution of Soil Moisture: A Stochastic Analysis. A Mix of Scales: Topography, Point Samples and Yield Maps. Evaluating Soil Data from Several Sources Using a Landscape Model. Application of a Neural Network-Based Spatial Disaggregation Scheme for Addressing Scaling of Soil Moisture. Scaling Soil Mechanical Properties to Predict Plant Responses. Estimating Nitrate-N Losses at Different Spatial Scales in Agricultural Watersheds. Incorporation of Remote Sensing Data in an Upscaled Soil Water Model. Hierarchical Frameworks for Multiscale Bridging in Hydropedology. Scaling and Hierarchy of Models for Flow Processes in Unsaturated Fractured Rock.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
