| Summary: |
"The environmentally oriented specialties of microbiology are in the midst of a major paradigm shift from a focus on single or a few key microbial species to consideration of the entirety of the microbial community and its interactions. Fully revised and updated, the third edition of Soil Microbiology focuses the student's attention on today's topics of relevance: the role the soil microbial community plays in global environmental health and in human health and the new techniques available for analysis at this level. The new edition will be enhanced by considering the impact of environmental perturbations on microbial community structure and diversity and the resultant implications for soil system functions. Basic principles are still thoroughly covered in this text, but details of the finer points of processes and their implications are updated. While the impact of soil microbial communities on food and health related issues remain a major consideration in this third edition, the emphasis of the text is on the importance of soil microbial communities to sustainability of terrestrial ecosystems and solutions to global problems"-- |
