Overview of present knowledge of the rhizosphere and its implications for agriculture.
In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient uptake.
This book includes chapters that emphasize the effects of rhizosphere biology on long-term soil development, agro-ecosystem management and responses of ecosystems to global change.
For the writing of this book, inspiration has come, in large part, from 10 years of cooperative rhizosphere research in association with leading scientists participating in a regional effort within the southern United States.
Revised and expanded, the second edition provides comprehensive and updated treatment of recent advances in understanding the complex biochemistry of the soil-microbe-plant interaction.
Summarizing data on the processes that occur in soil-plant interaction, this text emphasizes the biochemistry and the role of organic compounds in the rhizosphere environment.
This volume develops cross-scale links, including chapters focusing at mechanistic small scales as well as chapters exploring implications of rhizosphere biology for soil community structure and function, for responses of ecosystems to ...
Together, the varied contributions to this volume accentuate the need for an interdisciplinary approach to the rhizosphere involving agronomy, microbiology, plant pathology, physiology and soil science, as well as genetics,...
