Soil Ecology and Ecosystem Services cover

This multi-contributor, international volume synthesizes contributions from the world's leading soil scientists and ecologists, describing cutting-edge research that provides a basis for the maintenance of soil health and sustainability. The book covers these advances from a unique perspective of examining the ecosystem services produced by soil biota across different scales - from biotic interactions at microscales to communities functioning at regional and global scales. The book leads the user towards an understanding of how the sustainability of soils, biodiversity, and ecosystem services can be maintained and how humans, other animals, and ecosystems are dependent on living soils and ecosystem services.

Overall, the editor, section editors, and authors have achieved what they intended to do. They have produced a contemporary account of cutting edge science about soils and sustainability * Robert H. Marrs, Biological Conservation *
