Applied Soil Chemistry

In this chapter, a brief summarization of process of chemical weathering and various factors like specific surface area, oxidation and reduction, biotic process, temperature, time, acidity, leaching, effect of water, etc., responsible for controlling the rate of chemical weathering is discussed.
