Summary: "The book presents a new vision of the nitrogen cycle and analyzes how the biological knowledge of the different processes involved in it can be used to reduce the environmental risk that nitrogen pollution exerts on the environmental quality of our planet. Problems such as contamination of groundwater or surface waters by nitrates or ammonium and how they can be mitigated by different biotechnologies are discussed in this book. The book will be a useful reference work for scientists, academic faculty and graduate students"-- Provided by publisher
Description and Table of Contents
Description
Anthropogenic activity has clearly altered the N cycle contributing (among other factors) to climate change. This book aims to provide new biotechnological approach representing innovative strategies to solve specific problems related to the imbalance originating in the N cycle. Aspects such as new conceptions in agriculture, wastewater treatment, and greenhouse gas emissions are discussed in this book with a multidisciplinary vision. A team of international authors with wide experience have contributed up-to-date reviews, highlighting scientific principles and their environmental importance and integrating different biotechnological processes in environmental technology.
