520			_a“Humans are highly dependent upon the soil ecosystem, which provides food, fiber, fuel and ecological services such as the recycling of atmospheric gases. Soil ecology is the study of interactions between the physio-chemical components of the soil and organisms living within the soil. An understanding of the nature of the organisms that live in soil is essential for understanding soil ecology. In Soil management, techniques aim to increase the resistance of soil to erosion, and focus mainly on the improvement and maintenance of soil structure. This book serves as a comprehensive introduction to Soil Ecology and Management. The book uses straight forward, less-technical jargon and manages to introduce each chapter with a basic concept, which ultimately evolves into a more specific detailed principle.”--Book cover
