- Zusatztext
- For this third volume of the series Soil Biology, internationally renowned scientists shed light on the significant roles of microbes in soil. Key topics covered include: bioerosion, humification, mineralization and soil aggregation; Interactions in the mycorrhizosphere; microbes and plant nutrient cycling; Microbes in soil surface or toxic metal polluted soils; Use of marker genes and isotopes in soil microbiology, and many more.
- Kurztext
- Gives insight into the various different roles of microbes in soilsWith contributions from an international board of renowned scientistsSome methodological chapters on modern techniques complement the state-of-the-art articlesIncludes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
