Description

"Gathers in a single, comprehensive volume several years of research in methodology, terminology, interpretation, and application of soil, plant, water, and other analyses for efficient resource management and environmental protection. Explicates laboratory quality assurance, sample collection techniques, and laboratory analysis-based interpretations and recommendations."
