Agrophysics is important both for research and practical use not only in agriculture, but also in areas like environmental science, land reclamation, and food processing. This Encyclopedia of Agrophysics provides up-to-date information on the physical properties and processes affecting the quality of the environment and plant production. It complements the recently published Encyclopedia of Soil Science, (November 2007) published in the same series. In a single volume, a collection of about 250 informative articles and 400 glossary terms covering all aspects of agrophysics are presented. The authors are renowned specialists in various aspects in agrophysics from a wide variety of countries.
