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

Allelopathic inhibition of nitrification and nitrifying bacteria in a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl.) community.
TL;DR: The dynamics of ponderosa pine stands in western North Dakota were studied to determine the influence of plant-produced chemicals on nitrification rates and competitive interactions within the stands.

GHG footprint of major cities in India
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on accounting of the amount of three important greenhouses gases namely carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) and thereby developing GHG footprint of the major cities in India.

Assessment of sepiolite for immobilization of cadmium-contaminated soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the remediation effects of sepiolite on soils artificially polluted with cadmium (Cd) using a set of variables (soil pH, available Cd content, plant Cd concentration, soil enzyme activities, and microorganisms).

Impact of rock materials and biofertilizations on P and K availability for maize (Zea Maize) under calcareous soil conditions.
TL;DR: Under the same conditions of this study, co-inoculation of PDB and KDB in conjunction with direct application of rock P and K materials (R(P + K)) into the soil increased P andK availability and uptake, and the plant growth (shoot and root growth) of maize plants grown on P and k limited soils.
