Index

"With a systematic and interdisciplinary approach, this book brings together world-renowned international scientists on the recent progresses in understanding and evaluating soil biogeochemical processes spanning from atomic to global scales. This book is useful for sustainable agricultural development and management of soil ecosystems under climate changes. The book is composed of 14 chapters including three parts and one overview introduction chapter. Part I with four chapters is focused on the molecular-scale processes and reactions. Part II with four chapters covers ecosystem-level observations. Part III with five chapters emphasizes large-scale modeling and the strategy for improvement of ecosystem resilience to climate change"-- Provided by publisher.
