Riassunto

This revised and updated text guides students through biochemical and microbial processes in soils and introduces them to microbial processes in water and sediments. This classic teaching text includes basic concepts and applications in agriculture, forestry, ecology, and environmental science. It can also be an invaluable resource for research in biogeochemistry, microbiology, sustainable agriculture, and environmental amelioration. The Second Edition has expanded to include such topics as bioremediation, molecular biology of soil, biodiversity of soil organisms, and the impact of global climate change on soil microhabitats.

Key Features
* Includes many interpretive diagrams
* Provides compact and concise coverage of soil microbiology
* Thoroughly updated and expanded to include bioremdiation, soil molecular biology, biodiversity, and global climate change
