Soil is not just the ground beneath our feet-it's a living, dynamic system essential to life, climate balance, and biodiversity. Written by subject experts in Environmental Sciences and Entomology, this Laboratory Manual of Soil Science bridges theoretical concepts with practical field and lab-based applications. Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Agriculture and Environmental Studies, the manual presents a comprehensive suite of hands-on experiments ranging from: Basic soil parameters (pH, texture, and nutrient status) Soil microbial biomass and enzymatic activity Impacts of pesticides and pollutants Vermicomposting and organic enrichment Biochar application and carbon sequestration studies Each experiment is presented with a clear principle, step-by-step procedure, observation format, and relevant precautions-helping students not just conduct practicals but understand the deeper environmental significance behind each. Whether you're investigating the role of soil microfauna, testing fertility, or exploring sustainable practices, this manual serves as both a guide and a gateway-to better science, ecological understanding, and stewardship of one of Earth's most vital resources.
