Soil and Environmental Microbiology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798888365212)

Soil microbiology explores the diverse community of microorganisms inhabiting soil, including bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protozoa. These microorganisms play crucial roles in nutrient cycling, decomposition of organic matter, and soil fertility. Environmental microbiology, on the other hand, comprises a broader scope, investigating microorganisms in various environments such as water bodies, air, sediments, and even extreme habitats like hot springs and polar regions. It examines how microorganisms influence environmental processes, including biogeochemical cycling, pollutant degradation, and microbial ecology. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of soil and environmental microbiology. Also included in this book is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of soil and environmental microbiology. This book is a collective contribution of a renowned group of international experts in the field of soil and environmental microbiology.
