This updated and revised second edition maintains a field orientation and has three new chapters. The contributors describe a diverse range of soils that occur in and around wetlands throughout North America. These wetlands are widely recognized as consisting of three main components: hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology. A recurring theme in th is that hydric soils are components of a landscape whose soils have been altered by hydrologic and biogeochemical processes. Th aims to improve communication among soil scientists, hydrologists, and biologists, and to prepare individuals to work with real wetlands in the field.
