SOIL MICROBIOLOGY, ECOLOGY, AND CHEMISTRY

[MJPassion]

Wow!
I just got a copy of this book & was wondering if anybody else has it?

It looked very interesting, considering my chosen work as of late, so I picked up a copy.

It appears thayt there could be quite a bit of it fly right over my head so I thought I'd start a thread where I & anybidy else interested could pose questions and talk about this/these subject/s.

It will be a few days, maybe a couple weeks, before I crack this book as I'm currently upping my gen chemistry knowledge.
If that's possible... lmao!

Lets drop some uncommon knowledge up in this thread yall!

Nobody eh?

If you are a student of soil science I would highly recommend grabbing a copy of this book.

I just finished reading the first chapter this morning.
Ch1-Soil Microbiology, Ecology, and Biochemistry: An Exciting Present and Great Future Built on Basic Knowledge and Unifying Concepts; is basically a synopsis of what is to come in the following 17 chapters. It's NOT flying over the cranium yet.

Here's a look at what's in this book:
Ch2-The Soil Habitat
Ch3-The Bacteria and Archaea
Ch4-The Soil Fungi
Ch5-Soil Fauna: Occurrence, Biodiversity, and Roles in Ecosystem Function
Ch6-Molecular Approaches to Studying the Soil Biota
Ch7-Physiological and Biochemical Methods for Studying Soil Biota and Their Functions
Ch8-The Spatial Distribution of Soil Biota
Ch9-The Metabolic Physiology of Soil Microorganisms
Ch10-The Ecology of the Soil Biota and their Function
Ch11-Plant Soil Biota Interactions
Ch12-Carbon Cycling: The Dynamic Formation of Organic Matter
Ch13-Methods for Studying Soil Organic Matter: Nature, Dynamics, Spatial Accessibility, and Interactions with Minerals
Ch14-Nitrogen Transformation
Ch15-Biological N Inputs
Ch16-Biological Cycling of Inorganic Nutrients and Metals in Soils and Their Role in Soil Biogeochemistry
Ch17-Modeling the Dynamics of Soil Organic Matter and Nutrient Cycling
Ch18-Management of Soil Biota and Their Processes


Lots to learn from this here book.

Dude, It's on amazon for 80-95 bucks! How much did you pay for yours?

 

[MJPassion]

$80 for the newly 2015 updated Fourth Edition.

I didn't realize it was this new.

$$$ maters not when knowledge is power.

And free knowledge matters when your starving. Just having fun with words. No offense. Thank you for the heads up on info. till then I found something full of info and for free.

Much respect
