This book is the self-contained fourth volume of a seven-volume
comprehensive series on nitrogen fixation. The outstanding aspect
of this book is the integration of basic and applied work on
biological nitrogen fixation in the fields of agriculture,
forestry, and ecology in general. Nowadays, the concept of
sustainability, which originated in agriculture and land use, is
reaching many other areas of society and industry. Sustainability
has a major part to play in the global challenge of continued
development of regions, countries, and continents all around the
World and biological nitrogen fixation has a key role in this
process. This volume begins with chapters specifically addressing
crops of major global importance, such as soybeans, rice, and sugar
cane. It continues with a second important focus, agroforestry, and
describes the use and promise of both legume trees with their
rhizobial symbionts and other nitrogen-fixing trees with their
actinorhizal colonization. An over-arching theme of all chapters is
the interaction of the plants and trees with microbes and this
theme allows other aspects of soil microbiology, such as
interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and the impact of
soil-stress factors on biological nitrogen fixation, to be
addressed. Furthermore, a link to basic science occurs through the
inclusion of chapters describing the biogeochemically important
nitrogen cycle and its key relationships among nitrogen fixation,
nitrification, and denitrification. The volume then provides an
up-to-date view of the production of microbial inocula, especially
those for legume crops. No other available work provides the
up-to-date and in-depth coverage of this volume, whichis intended
to serve as an indispensable reference work for academic,
government, and industrial scientists working in the applied areas
of agronomy, plant breeding, plant nutrition, ecology, and forestry
as well as those in the basic science areas of plant physiology,
soil microbiology, and related environmental disciplines. This
volume will be an invaluable tool for students entering this
challenging area of research and will provide science
administrators with ready access to vital relevant information.
