UC Davis course notes on soil chemistry include some of the interactions in the soil system. These include three-phase system of the soil; solid phase reactivity; and the chemistry of solutions within the soil matrix. Cation exchange reactions, soil buffering and pH dynamics, and redox reactions affecting chemistry in soil have also been covered. This resource has been very important especially for students who wish to understand the intricate processes by which chemicals regulate soil fertility and health and grant them knowledge that ensures effective soil management.
