Humic substances, the remarkable brown biomaterials in animals, coals, plants, sediments, soils and waters, are crucial components of the carbon cycle and other life processes. Thus greater knowledge and understanding of these versatile materials is of great importance to the productivity, health and safety of the world''s ecosystems, humans, land and water. Presenting the best and most recent research in this important area, this book focuses on the molecular and chemical aspects of humic substances, with sophisticated analytical, chemical and physical techniques providing vital information. Areas covered include spectroscopy, modelling, mobility, properties and analysis of humic substances. Humic Substances: Structures, Models and Functions will be welcomed by researchers and professionals in academia, industry and government agencies worldwide, particularly where the science of humic substances finds applications, such as environmental remediation and sustainable agriculture.

Industry Reviews

"... should form part of the library stock of any organization with a serious interest in soil science." * Agricultural Science, Volume 138, 2002 * "... details advances in our understanding of soils and in the development of techniques for their study ..." * Chemistry and Industry, Issue 16, 19 August 2002, p 22 * "... a comprehensive state of the art presentation of analytical methods used in characterization and fractionation of humic substances. It can be recommended to researchers and professionals in academia, industry and government agencies in humus research." * International Journal of Environment and Pollution, Vol 18, No 6, 2002 *
