"Soil Ecology & Management describes the organisms inhabiting the soil, their functions and interactions and the dimensions of human impact on the activity of soil organisms and soil ecological function. Chapters cover basic soil characteristics and biogeochemical cycling, key soil flora and fauna, community-level dynamics (soil foodwebs) and the ecological and pedological functions of soil organisms..."
