Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of Soil Microbiology, Ecology and Biochemistry updates this widely used reference as the study and understanding of soil biota, their function, and the dynamics of soil organic matter has been revolutionized by molecular and instrumental techniques, and information technology. Knowledge of soil microbiology, ecology and biochemistry is central to our understanding of organisms and their processes and interactions with their environment. In a time of great global change and increased emphasis on biodiversity and food security, soil microbiology and ecology has become an increasingly important topic. Revised by a group of world-renowned authors in many institutions and disciplines, this work relates the breakthroughs in knowledge in this important field to its history as well as future applications. The new edition provides readable, practical, impactful information for its many applied and fundamental disciplines. Professionals turn to this text as a reference for fundamental knowledge in their field or to inform management practices. New section on "Methods in Studying Soil Organic Matter Formation and Nutrient Dynamics" to balance the two successful chapters on microbial and physiological methodology Includes expanded information on soil interactions with organisms involved in human and plant disease Improved readability and integration for an ever-widening audience in his field Integrated concepts related to soil biota, diversity, and function allow readers in multiple disciplines to understand the complex soil biota and their function

Download or read book A Comparison of Methods for Estimating Soil Microbial Biomass written by Breno Machado Grisi and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "standing crop" or biomass of microorganisms, that stores important nutrients in soil (nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur) should be a useful guide to evaluate changes in soil microbial populations, caused by many factors concerning the use and management of soils. In the present study four methods devised to estimate soil microbial biomass were compared: A) biomass determined from microorganisms killed by fumigation with alcohol-free chloroform; b) biomass determined from the substrate-induced maximum initial respiration rate after addition of glucose to soil; c) ATP content of soil; d) microbial biovolumes of hyphae, and of spherical and nearly spherical microorganisms, estimated by fluorescence microscopy. The biovolumes were converted to biomass. These methods were used simultaneously with the same samples from nine different soils (woodlands soils, agricultural and grassland ones) for determining their microbial biomasses. Strong and significant correlations were obtained between the biomass determined by the fumigation method (termed here fumigation biomass or FB) and ATP content of soil (r+ 0,94) and respiration rate in response to glucose (termed were RRG) (r= 0,85). ATP content correlated strongly and significantly with RRG (r= 0,95). The correlation of FB with biomass calculated from total biovolume of fungi and of spherical and nearly spherical microorganismd (termed here B-TBv) was poor and non-significant (r= 0,39). B-TBv did not correlate significantly with ATP content of soil (r= 0,52). B-TBv ...

Download or read book An Irrigated Area Map of the World 1999 Derived from Remote Sensing written by Prasad Srinivasa Thenkabail and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2006 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research report presents the results of a global analysis of multi-temporal time series at nominal 10 kilometer pixel resolution. Statistics of irrigation at country level are derived from these maps for different seasons and for the entire year (annualized) for the nominal year of 1999. Three methods of area abstraction are used and compared, and three methods of accuracy assessment are applied. The annualized irrigated areas of the world at the end of the last millennium were about 480 Mha of which there were 263 Mha for season 1, 176 Mha for season 2, and 41 Mha for continuous cropping. Of this, Asia alone accounts for 78 percent (375 Mha) with 59 percent from China and India. The country statistics are compared with FAO country-level statistics (see Annex I). The IWMI GIAM 10 km V2.0 map were tested based on 3 sources of independent data resulting in accuracies between 84 and 91 percent with errors of omission not exceeding 16 percent and errors of commission less than 21 percent. The total area available for irrigation (TAAI; the nearest equivalent to FAO’s equipped area) was 412 Mha.

Download or read book Soil Ecology written by Ken Killham and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-03-03 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil Ecology is an exciting textbook for all those concerned with the environment. The author meets the increasing challenge faced by environmental scientists, ecologists, agriculturalists and biotechnologists for an integrated approach to soil ecology. Intellectually enticing and yet eminently readable, the book sets out both fundamental theory and principle to give the reader a thorough grounding in soil ecology. The author emphasises the interrelations between plants, animals and microbes. The fundamental physical and chemical properties of the soil habitat are clearly set out, enabling the reader to explore and understand the processes of soil nutrient cycling and the ecology of extreme soil environments. The book will appeal to advanced undergraduates and graduates in environmental science, plant science, ecology, microbiology and agriculture.
