Description
A scientific discipline is circumscribed, if not exactly defined, by the methods available to it. The study of ecology of soil biota, and its impact on ecosystems of importance to human activities, requires a broader base of measurements often of a multidisciplinary nature. This volume reviews current methods and provides an overview of emerging techniques in major areas of soil ecology. It is based on papers presented at a workshop "Modern Techniques in Soil Ecology". Seven overview papers were followed by 40 contributed papers describing new developments in the measurement of soil properties, the organisms inhabiting the soil and their impacts on soil processes.
