This book addresses virtually every aspect of C and N cycling, including: general concepts on the diversity of microorganisms and management practices for soil, the function of soil’s structure-function-ecosystem, the evolving role of C and N, cutting-edge methods used in soil microbial ecological studies, rhizosphere microflora, the role of organic matter (OM) in agricultural productivity, C and N transformation in soil, biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and its genetics, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs), PGPRs and their role in sustainable agriculture, organic agriculture, etc. The book’s main objectives are: (1) to explain in detail the role of C and N cycling in sustaining agricultural productivity and its importance to sustainable soil management; (2) to show readers how to restore soil health with C and N; and (3) to help them understand the matching of C and N cycling rules from a climatic perspective. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and policymakers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students of soil science, soil microbiology, agronomy, ecology, and the environmental sciences. Gathering cutting-edge contributions from internationally respected researchers, it offers authoritative content on a broad range of topics, which is supplemented by a wealth of data, tables, figures, and photographs. Moreover, it provides a roadmap for sustainable approaches to food and nutritional security, and to soil sustainability in agricultural systems, based on C and N cycling in soil systems. .Soil scienceSoil conservationSustainable developmentBiodiversityNature conservationClimate changeSoil Science & Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Biodiversityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031Nature Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008Climate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Soil science.Soil conservation.Sustainable development.Biodiversity.Nature conservation.Climate change.Soil Science & Conservation.Sustainable Development.Biodiversity.Nature Conservation.Climate Change.577.144Datta Rahuledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMeena Ram Swaroopedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPathan Shamina Imranedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtCeccherini Maria Teresaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910366638403321Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Soil2124876UNINA
