Microbes in Soil explores the hidden world beneath our feet, revealing how vital soil microbes—bacteria, fungi, and more—are to soil health and plant growth. This book highlights how these microorganisms drive nutrient cycling, such as breaking down organic matter, and protect plants from disease. Understanding the soil microbiome is presented as key to sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship.

The book provides a comprehensive overview, starting with the diversity of soil microbes and study techniques. It then delves into the roles of bacteria, fungi, and other groups in key processes like nitrogen and phosphorus cycling.

A significant portion analyzes plant-microbe interactions, examining the mechanisms driving these relationships.

The book culminates by examining practical applications of soil microbiology, such as using microbial inoculants and conservation tillage.

Ultimately, Microbes in Soil bridges the gap between scientific research and practical application. The book uniquely integrates the latest advances in microbial ecology with agriculture and environmental management. It is aimed at students, researchers, and agricultural professionals seeking a comprehensive resource on the soil microbiome and its potential for a sustainable future.
