This volume is one of a series within the CRC Series in Agriculture. The aim throughout has been to present in condensed form reliable information on soil science and climate as it relates to crop production. Convenience in form and the possibility of wide use and distribution have been kept uppermost in mind during the preparation of this volume. The tables and figures have been compiled especially for this Handbook by highly qualified and competent scientists who are recognized authorities in their respective fields of specialization. An attempt has been made to include material pertaining to all major branches of soil science. However, a decision was made to exclude types of data of use only in highly specialized lines of work. The final product is not intended as a guide to agricultural practices, because specific recommendations are constantly changing on the basis of new research findings. Soils are systems of extreme complexity and variability. Consequently, soils tend to defy accurate characterization on a broad scale by means of absolute constants and fixed values. Soil systems invariably exhibit ranges in particular properties and characteristics. The difficulties involved in attempting to quantify long range climatic trends are well known to both professional meterologists and laymen. In spite of these obstacles, it is hoped that the Handbook will be of significant value to all who seek and use information concerning soils and climate. Lastly, it is appropriate that this volume be dedicated to Dr. Gilbert L. Terman. Dr. Terman's long and valuable contributions to soil science and agronomy included a service as a coeditor of this volume. Characteristically, he performed these duties in a highly competent and efficient manner to the very end of his life, which occurred on January 31, 1979.
