Below-Ground Interactions in Tropical Agro-Ecosystems - Concepts and Models With Multiple Plant Components

Klappentext This book provides a synthesis of plant-soil-plant interactions in agroforestry, intercropping and grass-legume interactions. It focuses on the process level, which is relevant to many types of multi-species agroecosystem. It also links basic research to practical applications in a wide range of systems with or without trees, and considers effects of global change on below-ground interactions. The contents include soil biodiversity and food webs, phosphorus dynamics and mobilization by plants, and crop and tree root-system dynamics. The book will be of significant interest to researchers in plant, crop and soil sciences as well as agroforestry. Zusammenfassung The contents include soil biodiversity and food webs! phosphorus dynamics and mobilization by plants! and crop and tree root-system dynamics. The book will be of significant interest to researchers in plant! crop and soil sciences as well as agroforestry.
