Soil is a fundamental and critical, yet often overlooked, component
of terrestrial ecosystems. It is an extremely complex environment,
supporting levels of diversity far greater than any ecosystem above
ground. This book explores how soil structure develops and the
consequences this has for life underground. The effects of spatial
arrangement, of soil 's physical and biological components on their
interaction and function are used to demonstrate their roles in
ecosystem dynamics. Bringing together existing knowledge in the
areas of soil biology and physics, this book explores the key
characteristics of soil spatial architecture.
