520 _a“Soil is one of the most diverse habitats on earth and contains the most diverse assemblages of living organism. Soil organisms contribute a wide range of essential services to the sustainable function of all ecosystems. This book emphasizes the inter-relations among plants, animals and microbes, by establishing the fundamental, physical and chemical properties of the soil habitat and then functionally characterizing the major components of the soil biota and some of their most important interactions. This book presents a comprehensive introductory treatment, ideally edited and structured in an informal yet substantive style provides an in-depth introduction to the concepts of soil biodiversity and their implementation. The text is designed to provide a core of material for students according to their syllabi and is filled with clear, thorough explanations that help readers to develop an insight into physical ideas.”--Back cover
