Following the success of previous editions, this update focuses on bacterial metabolism and its relevance to the environment, including the decomposition of soil, food chains, nitrogen fixation, assimilation, and reduction of carbon nitrogen and sulfur, and microbial symbiosis. All chapters have been revised and brought up-to-date in light of the many advances and discoveries that have taken place during the last decade. The scope of the new edition has broadened to provide a review of the processes and phenomena that are relevant for global change feedback loops and advances in bacterial biogeochemical cycles.
- Completely revised to incorporate all recent advances in bacterial biogeochemical cycles
- Identifies processes and phenomena that are relevant for global change feedback loops
- Covers interactions between microbial processes, atmospheric composition, and the earth's greenhouse properties
Graduate students and researchers in microbiology, ecology and limnology, particularly soil and sediments, geochemists, those interested in plant nutrition, marine microbiology, microbial metabolism, and the global change research community
