Description

The study of the biological features of the microorganisms that occur in the soil environment is the focus of the scientific field known as soil microbiology. The several types of soil microorganisms include bacteria, actinomycetes, fungus, algae, and protozoa. Each of these groupings has traits that characterise them and define their roles in the soil. Understanding of soil microbiology is essential to our comprehension of how organisms function, interact with their environment, and go about their daily lives. This edition focuses on the molecular and instrumental techniques, information technology, and the understanding of the soil biota, their roles, and the dynamics of soil organic matter. This work links the discoveries in this significant field's knowledge to both its past and its potential future applications. For its various applied and foundational disciplines, this book offers material that is readable, useful, and significant. The relationships between soil organisms and those responsible for plant and human disease are discussed in this text. Readers from a variety of disciplines can grasp the intricate soil biota and their functions because to the comprehensive concepts it provides on soil biota, diversity, and functions.
