Overview
This definitive guide provides the scientific community with a critical evaluation of the interactions of minerals, organic components and microorganisms in the soil and their importance in the ecosystem.
* Provides a unique insight into the effects of microbes on pollutants in the soil, which is necessary for all environmental scientists working in this area
* Allows further discussion and development to uncover the dynamics and mechanisms of the environmental processes of nature

Booknews
Major elements of the analytical and physical chemistry of soil particles in their interaction with microorganisms and organic components are examined in this work for chemists and biologists studying environmental systems, as well as earth and soil scientists, environmental geologists, and environmental engineers. Chapters are presented in sections on fundamentals of soil particle-microorganism interactions, and the impact of soil particles-microorganism interactions on the terrestrial environment in the form of ion cycling and organic pollutant transformation, chemical and biological processes in the rhizosphere, and anaerobic and transport processes and the subsurface terrestrial environment. Huang teaches soil science at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
