About this book
Soil Microbiology and Biochemsitry enconmpasses the broad spectrum of soil organisms and the dynamic processes carried on by them, including ecological relationships in the biota, the dynamics of the carbon and nitrogen cycles, and microbe-driven reactions involving sulfu, phosphorous, and metals. This reference source will prove invaluable to anyone involved in the study of agricultural and nonagricultural soils.This book provideda process-oriented approach on nutrient cycling and fundamental soil processes for students who are studying soil microbiology and biochemistryan up-to-date assessment of the diverse systems affected by soil organisms for researchers in the fields of agronomy, environmental quality, and natural sciencesthe application of molecular biology to soil organisms, mathematic modeling of soil processes, a supplementary reading list, and a glossary.
