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

Interactions between insecticides and soil microbes
C. M. Tu,J. R. W. Miles +1 more
TL;DR: The widespread use of insecticides over the past 30 years has resulted in problems caused by their interaction with natural biological systems, and the complex interrelationship of these systems is illustrated in Figure 1.

Role of Biofertilizers in Conservation Agriculture
TL;DR: The bio-fertilizer is organic in nature containing an effective particular microorganism in a concentrated form which originated either from the plant root nodule or from the soil of the rhizosphere as discussed by the authors.

Soil quality variables in organically and conventionally cultivated field sites
TL;DR: The enzyme activities of amidohydrolases and phosphatases were by far higher in organic areas than in the conventional one and the soil quality of hedgerows seems to be completely different than that of the arable land in terms of all studied variables.

The processing of conifer and hardwood leaves in two coniferous forest streams: II. Biochemical and nutrient changes: With 6 figures and 2 tables in the text
TL;DR: In this article, the processing of conifer and hardwood leaves in two coniferous forest streams is described, and the results show that conifer leaves are processed in two different streams.
