Titre(s) : Carbon and nitrogen cycling in soil [Texte imprimé] / Rahul Datta... [et al.]
Publication : Singapore : Springer nature Singapore, copyright 2020
Description matérielle : 1 vol. (XII-498 p.) : ill. ; 25 cm
Note(s) : Notes bibliogr.
Several textbooks and edited volumes are currently available on general soil fertility
but, to date, none have been dedicated to the study of "Sustainable Carbon and Nitrogen
Cycling in Soil." Yet this aspect is extremely important, considering the fact that
the soil, as the 'epidermis of the Earth' (geodermis), is a major component of the
terrestrial biosphere. This book addresses virtually every aspect of C and N cycling,
including: general concepts on the diversity of microorganisms and management practices
for soil, the function of soil's structure-function-ecosystem, the evolving role of
C and N, cutting-edge methods used in soil microbial ecological studies, rhizosphere
microflora, the role of organic matter (OM) in agricultural productivity, C and N
transformation in soil, biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and its genetics, plant-growth-promoting
rhizobacteria (PGPRs), PGPRs and their role in sustainable agriculture, organic agriculture,
etc. The book's main objectives are: (1) to explain in detail the role of C and N
cycling in sustaining agricultural productivity and its importance to sustainable
soil management; (2) to show readers how to restore soil health with C and N; and
(3) to help them understand the matching of C and N cycling rules from a climatic
perspective. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for educators, researchers,
and policymakers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students of soil science,
soil microbiology, agronomy, ecology, and the environmental sciences. Gathering cutting-edge
contributions from internationally respected researchers, it offers authoritative
content on a broad range of topics, which is supplemented by a wealth of data, tables,
figures, and photographs. Moreover, it provides a roadmap for sustainable approaches
to food and nutritional security, and to soil sustainability in agricultural systems,
based on C and N cycling in soil systems
