Nucleic Acids and Proteins in Soil (Soil Biology, #8)
With millions of different bacterial species living in soil, the microbial community is extremely complex, varying at very small scales. Microbe-driven functions are essential for most processes in soil. Thus, a better understanding of this microbial diversity will be invaluable for the management of the various soil functions. Nucleic Acids and Proteins in Soil combines traditional approaches in soil microbiology and biochemistry with the latest techniques in molecular microbial ecology. Inclu...
This important but neglected book shows the reader how farming practices, and the care - or lack of care - with which the soil is treated have brought about both the rise and fall of civilizations, from the ancient Romans, to the Chinese, and the Muslim world. Soil is at the heart of civilization. This is a fully re-edited version of this classic and important text. - Introduction - Rome - The Roman Foods - The Roman Family - Soil Erosion in ancient Rome - Farmers and Nomads - Contrasting P...

Speciation Studies in Soil, Sediment and Environmental Samples
by Sezgin Bakirdere
Recent developments clearly indicate that speciation studies in biological and environmental matrices are much more important than the total element determination due to the tremendous difference in bioavailability and toxicity of various chemical forms of a particular element. Different separation-detection techniques and hyphenated systems-each w

In Organic Hobby Farming, Andy Tomolonis, a longtime organic gardener, part-time hobby farmer, and award-winning Boston-area journalist, strips down the concept of "organic" and explains why natural farming has emerged as the healthiest and most viable method of growing for hobby farms and other small-scale operations. In addition to the improved taste and the appeal of excluding toxic materials, organic farming benefits farmers, their families, and the environment. It offers economic plusses as...

This text provides an insight into the various aspects of production, processing, storage, products, marketing and trade of oilseeds in the Asia-Pacific region. The whole gamut of oilseed crops, including annuals and perennials, is covered in this text. Production problems are flagged, and potentials are highlighted at the national and regional levels. Research and development needs have also been addressed with a view to increasing oilseed production in the region. This text should be useful to...
Now in paperback, the second edition of this book reviews the origins and spread of cultivated plants in southwest Asia, Europe, and Africa north of the Sahara, from the earliest beginnings through to classical times. This new edition includes a chapter on dye plants, and significant new information on vegetables, fruit trees, and some grain crops. The authors examine evidence from archaeological sites and living plants to provide a modern synthesis of crop plant evolution. They provide ans...
