The favourite soil science books of Peter Leinweber

摘要

1. Scheffer & Schachtschabel ,,Lehrbuch der Bodenkunde": This is the standard textbook of soil science in German language. It goes back to the year 1937 as part of a textbook in Agricultural Chemistry. The 15th print run appeared in 2002, edited by Schachtschabel, Blume, Brummer, Hartge, and Schwertmann. Actually a new edition is being written. This is a comprehensive text book which provides me with in-depth information on all aspects in soil science. I consult it for preparation of lectures, but also if I want to get an overview on topics in soil science aside from my every day research work. The references lists at chapter ends are a valuable first approach to which I consult and try to read before doing a web-based literature search. Overall, this is the most useful book for my work in teaching and research.
