Download or read book Essential Soil Science written by Mark Ashman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is aimed at the majority of students, who need to quickly acquire a concise overview of soil science. Many current soil science textbooks still cater for a traditional student market where students embark on three years study in a narrow discipline. The growth in modular degree schemes has meant that soil science is now often taught as self-standing unit as part of broad based degree program. Students pursuing this type of course are increasingly reluctant to purchase expensive textbooks that are too detailed and often assume a scientific background. For those opting to specialise in soil science there are a variety of good textbooks to choose from. This short informative guide, will be particularly useful for students who do not possess a traditional scientific background, such as those studying geography, environment science, ecology and agriculture. Only textbook to cater for introductory courses in soil science. Provides an affordable concise overview of soil science. Learning exercises and chapter summaries enhance usability. Annotated suggestions for further reading. Based on proven and successful modular course structure. Emphasis on readability and interactive learning. No scientific background assumed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil Microbiology, Ecology, and Biochemistry, Fifth Edition addresses the increasingly important field of soil biota and their interactions in research and education. Soil biota are an important defining component of soils and one of Earth's most important natural resources. It is especially relevant to today's societal questions related to global change, ecosystem sustainability, and food security in our ever-changing environment. Revised by a group of world-renowned authors in many institutions and disciplines, Soil Microbiology, Ecology, and Biochemistry, Fifth Edition 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. There is no other available volume that, while providing the background and present knowledge in Soil Microbiology, Ecology and Biochemistry that also integrates the concepts such that they are of greatest usefulness by a broad group of readers.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A text book of Soil Ecology, offers a physico-chemistry approach to soil biology and ecosystem function, providing students and ecosystem researchers with a greater understanding of the central roles that soils play in ecosystem development and function. The text emphasizes the increasing importance of soils as the organizing center for all terrestrial ecosystems and provides an overview of theory and practice in soil ecology, both from an ecosystem and evolutionary biology point of view. This book is fully updated, including an expanded treatment of microbial ecology and new sections on advances in molecular techniques and climate change research. These updates make this edition an essential resource for researchers and students in soil ecology and microbiology. The book has presented a historical background of soil concepts, extending from early Chinese and Mesopotamian cultures, through Greco-Roman, into modern times. Much modern research focuses at the interface between soil, water, gases and organisms. Soils have texture and structure, arising via a range of mechanisms, mediated by the production of soil organic matter. Soil is one of the most heterogeneous environments that exist in nature and existing within this complex matrix are soil biota ranging from virus particles through to macro fauna. From this complex environment comes most of the food needed for the world population. This highlights the absolute importance of improving our understanding of this complex environment. Soil biodiversity changes driven by global change are the result of direct impacts (changes in temperature and moisture), and indirectly, through shifts in nutrient supply from plants. Invasive plants and animals add to the complexity of these long-term processes. Increasing food web complexity in soils should provide improved "health" (i.e., enhanced recycling of nutrients) in agro-ecosystems. . It critique of the interfaces between soil food webs, and enhanced provision of ecosystem services over landscapes at millennial time scales. In this book the physico-chemical and biological properties of soil have been mentioned, reader's will have a book that will go a long way to words giving them the understanding of soil ecology relevant to research in production, agriculture and on environmental issues.
