The living soil is crucial to photosynthesis, biogeochemical
cycles, global food production, climate change, biodiversity, and
plant and animal health. In the past decade, scientists have made
significant advances in soil microbiology research. While the basic
principles are now better understood, knowledge has been
forthcoming on the best available technologies and methods applied
to researching soil microorganisms, their diversity, interactions,
biochemistry, survival, gene expression, and their roles in global
climate change, plant disease suppression and growth stimulation,
and biogeochemical cycles. This knowledge can be applied to better
predict the transformation of pollutants in soil and the activities
of microbes in the rhizosphere. It will also assist us in fostering
crop production in an era with an increasing human population and
intensification of agriculture. Following the tradition of its
predecessors, Modern Soil Microbiology, Third Edition, is an
indispensable source that supports graduate/undergraduate teaching
for soil and environmental microbiologists in academia, as well as
in government and industrial laboratories. It is a comprehensive
collection of chapters on various aspects of soil microbiology,
useful for all professionals working with soils. Compiled by
internationally renowned educators and research scholars, this
textbook contains key tables, figures, and photographs, supported
by thousands of references to illustrate the depth of knowledge in
soil microbiology. FEATURES Fully updated and expanded to include
new key chapters on historical developments, future applications,
and soil viruses and proteins Discusses molecular methods applied
to soil microbiology, diverse soil microorganisms, and global
climate change Emphasizes the role of terrestrial microorganisms
and cycles involved in climate change Details the latest molecular
methods applied to soil microbiology research User-friendly for
students, and containing numerous tables, figures, and
illustrations to better understand the current knowledge in soil
microbiology
