Preface
The Soil Physics book is the result of a joint effort by the Southern Regional Center of the Brazilian Soil Science Society. It has teachers in the area linked to various Institutions and Courses in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. The construction of the Soil Physics book stems from an old desire and was carried out by many “hands” and is intended, primarily, to be used in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The growth and development of agriculture, as well as livestock and forestry is a national reality, requiring technicians with solid knowledge of the basis of production systems – the soil. The work will contribute to the dissemination of knowledge about four of the five basic factors associated with plant growth and development – air, water, heat and soil resistance. The chapters of the Soil Physics book present the basic concepts and relationships concerning the physical conditions of soils with the main focus on regional and national research results, without losing the consolidated global concept. Users will find a work with content used in teachers’ daily lives, facilitating understanding and perfect definition of the characteristic, property or process, as well as access to bibliographic references made available to students.
We can say that it is an unprecedented work in the area, in Brazil.
Congratulations, Southern Regional Center of SBCS, congratulations editors and teachers, authors.
