Springer (Verlag)
978-94-010-4214-7 (ISBN)
The volume addresses the extent and regulation of soil biodiversity and describes initial approaches to the linking of soil biodiversity and ecosystem function.
Audience: Researchers and students in a wide range of environmental scientific disciplines.
Preface.- Biodiversity and Ecosystem Processes.- *1. A Hierarchical pproach to evaluating the significance of soil biodiversity to biogeochemical cycling.- *2. Mutualism and biodiversity in soils.- *3. The detritus food-web and the diversity of soil fauna as indicators of disturbance regimes in agro-ecosystems.- Microbial Population Dynamics.- *4. Patterns and regulation of mycorrhizal plant and fungal diversity.- *5. Thoughts on the processes that maintain local species diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi.- *6.
