Les sols du monde présentent une diversité considérable, tant au niveau de leurs caractères et de leurs propriétés, que de leurs âges et de leurs conditions de genèse.Une bonne connaissance de ces caractéristiques constitue un viatique indispensable pour l'étude, l'utilisation et la conservation du milieu naturel. Cet ouvrage largement illustré offre une présentation exhaustive des principaux types de sols de notre planète. Le modèle d'" enfoncement progressif", reconnu et utilisé par de grands spécialistes internationaux, est ici le fil directeur choisi pour relier les observations et donner au lecteur une vision synthétique et cohérente de la différenciation des sols.Pour chacun d'eux, des rappels introductifs résument les bases physico-chimiques et minéralogiques nécessaires à la compréhension du texte. Les dénominations s'appuient systématiquement et en parallèle sur les trois systèmes de classification les plus employés, Soil Taxonomy, Référentiel Pédologique, et World Reference Base. Cette référence en la matière s'adresse tout particulièrement aux étudiants de Licence/Bachelor et de Master, mais se destine aussi aux praticiens et spécialistes du domaine (géologues, pédologues, agronomes, aménagistes du territoire, forestiers) ainsi qu'à tous ceux concernés ou intéressés par la protection de l'environnement. Panorama complet de la classification des sols dans leur diversité, de leurs relations avec le milieu naturel, de leur utilisation et de leur protection. L'auteur synthétise les connaissances actuelles et les disciplines connexes à la pédologie.

This book provides the most up-to-date knowledge on water in soils and applications for the best use of our water resources. It first addresses the influence of soils on water quality, which is linked to rock weathering, soil formation, acidity and waterlogging. Here, the constituents of soils – such as clay minerals and iron oxides – play a major role. These modifications also have an impact on biogeochemical processes at the global scale, including the carbon cycle and the composition of the atmosphere. Secondly, this book discusses soil salinity, alkalinity and sodification in climates spanning from Mediterranean to arid. Here, water quality results from the concentration of solutes by evaporation and the transpiration of plants. The proper management of irrigation both protects soils against acidification and ensures sustainable agroecological development, while improper management leads to soil degradation and groundwater overexploitation. Lastly, the book describes how excess transfer of phosphorus in lakes results from a cascade of liberation and immobilization in the structure of the surrounding landscape. This leads to a general integrative method to limit eutrophication and restore the quality of water bodies.

La dégradation des sols, leur pollution, leur capacité à nourrir la population mondiale dans les prochaines décennies animent actuellement de grands débats. Afin d’y apporter les réponses les plus pertinentes, il est nécessaire de bien connaître tous les grands types de sol qui couvrent la planète et leur répartition dans les différentes zones bio-climatologiques. Après une présentation générale des fonctions vitales du sol et de ses propriétés fondamentales, cet ouvrage décrit les principaux sols du monde dans leur environnement bio-climatologique, physique et physico-chimique, sans oublier de mentionner leurs transformations anthropiques majeures ainsi que les dégradations subies depuis parfois de nombreuses décennies. Grâce à une abondante illustration (40 figures didactiques et près de 400 photos couleurs), un panorama général des principaux sols du monde et de leur fonctionnement se dessine au fil des pages et entraîne le lecteur dans un voyage scientifique et iconographique à travers l’épiderme vivant de la planète Terre. Les principaux sols du monde s’adresse non seulement aux spécialistes de la science du sol mais aussi aux étudiants et aux enseignants des sciences de la terre et des sciences de la vie. Il suscitera également un vif intérêt chez toutes les personnes concernées par l’aménagement, la protection des milieux naturels et la connaissance de la Terre. Clément Mathieu a été successivement pédologue à la station agronomique de Laon puis dans un grand périmètre irrigué au Maroc, fonctionnaire prinicipal des Nations Unies (FAO) en République centrafricaine, professeur de science du sol à l'université du Burundi et à l'ESA-Purpan de Toulouse. Il est également membre de l'Académie des sciences d'outre-mer et de la Société des explorateurs français.

This introductory book to the six volume series includes an introduction defining the critical zone for mankind that extends from tree canopy and the lower atmosphere to water table and unweathered rock. Soils play a crucial role through the functions and the services that they provide to mankind. The spatial and temporal variability of soils is represented by information systems whose importance, recent evolutions and increasingly performing applications in France and in the world must be underlined. The soil functions, discussed in this book, focus on the regulation of the water cycle, biophysicochemical cycles and the habitat role of biodiversity. The main services presented are those related to the provision of agricultural, fodder and forest products, energy, as well as materials and the role of soil as infrastructure support. They also include the different cultural dimensions of soils, their representations being often linked to myths and rites, as well as their values of environmental and archaeological records. Finally, the issue is raised of an off-ground world.

Geology – Basics for Engineers (second edition) presents the physical and chemical characteristics of the Earth, the nature and the properties of rocks and unconsolidated deposits/sediments, the action of water, how the Earth is transformed by various phenomena at different scales of time and space. The book shows the engineer how to take geological conditions into account in their projects, and how to exploit a wide range of natural resources in an intelligent way, reduce geological hazards, and manage subsurface pollution. This second edition has been fully revised and updated. Through a problem-based learning approach, this instructional text imparts knowledge and practical experience to engineering students (undergraduate and graduate level), as well as to experts in the fields of civil engineering, environmental engineering, earth sciences, architecture, land and urban planning. Free digital supplements to the book, found on the book page, contain solutions to the problems and animations that show additional facets of the living Earth. The original French edition of the book (2007) won the prestigious Roberval Prize, an international contest organized by the University of Technology of Compiegne in collaboration with the General Council of Oise, France. Geology, Basics for Engineers was selected out of a total of 110 candidates. The jury praised the book as a "very well conceived teaching textbook" and underscored its highly didactic nature, as well as the excellent quality of its illustrations. Features: Offers an exhaustive outline of the methods and techniques used in geology, with a study of the nature and properties of the principal soils and rocks Helps students understand how geological conditions should be taken into account by the engineer by taking a problem-solving approach Contains extensive figures and examples, solutions to probems, and illustrative animations Presents a highly didactic and synthetic work intended for engineering students as well as experts in civil engineering, environmental engineering, the earth sciences, and architecture

This profusely illustrated book gives an exhaustive account of the principal types of soils of our planet. The "progressive descent of weathering fronts" model, recognized and used by eminent international scientists is the guiding principle of choice to link the observations and to give the reader a synthetic and coherent view of the differentiation of soils. In each case, the introductory reminders summarize the physicochemical and mineralogical principles necessary for understanding the text. The nomenclatures rely systematically and simultaneously on the two most commonly used classifications: Soil Taxonomy and World Reference Base. This reference manual is aimed at students of the undergraduate and graduate courses, but is also intended for workers and scientists in this subject area (geologists, pedologists, agronomists, land-use planners, foresters, etc.) as well as for all those concerned with or interested in protection of the environment.

This volume focuses on the development of field systems through time and space and in their wider landscape context, including classical issues pertaining to past land use and management regimes, including manuring, water, land and crop management, and technologies such as slash‐and‐burn cultivation, and use of the ard and plough. This book provides the first comprehensive attempt to bring together and provide a comprehensive insight into the latest prehistoric fieldscape research across Europe. The book raises a broader awareness of some of the main questions and scientific requests that are addressed by scholars working in various fieldscapes across Europe. Themes addressed in this book include (a) mapping and understanding field system morphologies at various scales, (b) the extraction of information on social processes from field system morphologies, (c) the relations between field systems and cultural and natural features of their environment, (d) time-depths and temporalities of usage, and (e) specifics of the underlying agricultural systems, with special attention to matters of continuity and resilience and relation to changing practices. The case-studies explore how to best approach such landscapes with traditional and novel methodologies and targeted research in order to enhance our knowledge further. The volume offers inspiration and guidance for the heritage management of fieldscape heritage – not solely for future scholarly research but foremost to stimulate strategic guidance to frame and support improved protection of evidently vulnerable resources for Europe’s future. This volume is of interest to landscape archaeologists.

One third of the world's soils have already been degraded. The burden on the land continues to grow under the combined pressures of demography, urbanization, artificialization and mining, and there are increased demands on agricultural land: changing dietary preferences, land speculation, as well as new demands for agroenergy, fiber, green chemistry, and more. Resulting issues such as soil crusting, water and wind erosion, soil salinization and soil acidity therefore constitute a major threat. The authors of this book present the main processes and factors of soil degradation, different ways to prevent it and methods of rehabilitation. The book also deals with the origin and processes of metallic and organic soil pollution as well as methods of phytoremediation and restoration. It is one of the few books to explore the issue of soil artificialization and urban soil management and to highlight how agricultural and urban waste can be used to amend and fertilize cultivated soils.
