Particular attention is also given to microbial stress adaptation in hot desert soils. Furthermore, it is the first volume in this particular field to cover modern metagenomics technologies that can be applied to studies of all aspects of desert microbial communities. \u003cbr\u003e Additionally, the book explores viruses and viral communities, which are among the least studied (and little understood) components of desert soil microbial communities. Particular attention is also given to the roles of desert microbial communities in biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogenand phosphorus. Through this book the reader discovers how desert microbiology has been at the forefront of Astrobiology and how it may be used conceptually in future terraforming strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesert ecosystems are increasingly coming into focus given the impacts of climate change and desertification trends, making this volume particularly timely. Each of the chapters is authored by leading international researchers and is a must-read for microbial ecologists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Baptiste Ramond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030984141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030984144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Jean-Baptiste Ramond","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48486765101311,"sku":"9783030984144","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1909d9a-ff31-44ad-a791-bf481920c814.jpg?v=1778056603","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/microbiology-of-hot-deserts-jean-baptiste-ramond-9783030984144","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
