TLDR
In this paper, the biological processes that take place in the soil and their importance to soil fertility, plant growth, and environmental quality are investigated from both descriptive and functional viewpoints, including microbial ecology, the carbon and nitrogen cycles, mineral transformation, and ecological interrelationships.Abstract:
Characterizes soil microflora from descriptive and functional viewpoints; considers the biological processes that take place in the soil and their importance to soil fertility, plant growth, and environmental quality. Deals with the biochemical basis for soil processes, including microbial ecology, the carbon and nitrogen cycles, mineral transformation, and ecological interrelationships.read more

Measurements of atmospheric hydrocarbons and biogenic emission fluxes in the Amazon Boundary layer
TL;DR: Tropospheric mixing ratios of methane, C2-C10 hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide were measured over the Amazon tropical forest near Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, in July and August 1985.

Carbon Sources for Bacterial Denitrification
TL;DR: A review of the role of organic carbon in denitrification can be found in this paper, where the chemistry of soil organic matter is only partially understood and its complexity has probably inhibited studies.

Non-streptomycete actinomycetes as biocontrol agents of soil-borne fungal plant pathogens and as plant growth promoters
TL;DR: Some of the NSA, including endophytic strains that have shown potential to suppress soil-borne fungal plant pathogens, are able to employ one or more mechanisms of antagonism including antibiosis, hyperparasitism and the production of cell-wall degrading enzymes.

Solubilization of insoluble inorganic phosphates by a novel salt- and pH-tolerant Pantoea agglomerans R-42 isolated from soybean rhizosphere.
TL;DR: P. agglomerans R-42 showed resistance against different environmental stresses like 5-45 degrees C temperature, 1-5% salt concentration and 3-11 pH range and solubilization was highest from CaHPO4, hydroxyapatite and Ca3(PO4)2, however, the strain produced soluble phosphate to the culture broth with the concentrations of 28 mg/l against FePO4, and 19 mg/ l against AlPO4.
