The Soils of Buthan [i.e. Bhutan]
Parent Materials, Soil Forming Processes, and New Insights Into the Palaeoclimate of the Eastern Himalayas
Description:... This volume presents a study of the soils of the tiny Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Three aspects make Bhutan an interesting place to study soils: a high density of different physiographic zones, secondly a high percentage of primeval forests, lowering erosion levels and preserving a large percentage of the original land surface and thirdly, the lack of previous studies of climate history, soils and soil-forming processes in Bhutan. The volume features a an appendix with color soil profiles and photos.
