Soil Microbiology and Biochemistry - Tapa dura

"A highly readable account of the significance and role of micro-organisms in biological and biochemical processes in soil, emphasizing the interdisciplinary quality of soil microbiological research. I think that this is a useful and informative book, suitable both for institutional and person purchases..."
--Gianfranco Novarino, Natural History Museum, SGM QUARTERLY
"A work which encompasses the complexity of soil biology and developing techniques in a comprehensive, valuable and readable form."
--EXPERIMENTAL AGRICULTURE

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
