ABOUT THE BOOK
Cryosols occupy a unique part of the earth and have properties greatly
different from other soils. They also occur where the greatest impact of
global warming is predicted. They have been studied extensively in
Russia, Canada, and in other regions. This is, however, the first
book which brings together experts from all fields in order to focus on
these unique soils. It will undoubtedly provide one of the best sources
of information available about these soils.
This book is written for scientists and graduate students in the fields
of soil science and conservation, geoecology, hydrology, and
agriculture. It was a joint effort of the Cryosol working group of the
International Permafrost Association (IPA) and the International Union
of Soil Sciences (IUSS).
