Publisher Summary 1
Juxtaposes a range of differing ideas about the recent and still evolving application of fractals to soil science, with an introductory chapter reviewing and illustrating the theoretical foundations of fractal geometry to make the treatment self-contained and suitable for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course. Among the dozen topics are structural hierarchy and molecular accessibility in clayey aggregates, fractal models of fragmented and aggregated soils, interactions between soil structure and microbial dynamics, and using fractal dimensions of stained flow patterns in clay soil to predict bypass flow.
