Informationen zum Autor ROBERT L. TATE III, PhD, is Professor of Soil Microbiology in the Department of Environmental Science at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He is the author of a number of books on soil microbiology, including Microbial Ecology and Soil Organic Matter. Klappentext Die zweite Auflage dieses populären und bekannten Titels zur Bodenkunde wurde um eine Einführung erweitert, die besonders den Wünschen von Studenten niederer Semester entgegenkommen wird. Drei neue Kapitel beschäftigen sich mit der biologischen Diversität von Bodenökosystemen, der Bodenrekultivierung sowie dem Management von Bodensystemen. Zusammenfassung Extensively revised! accessible! and up-to-date-the new edition of Tate's classic soil microbiology text Now in its second edition! Soil Microbiology offers students a broad knowledge of the behavior and function of microbes in soil-all the essentials they will need in order to address the long-term stewardship of the earth's soil resources.
