Yet this aspect is extremely important, considering the fact that the soil, as the ?epidermis of the Earth? (geodermis)? is a major component of the terrestrial biosphere. 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. . 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aNature conservation 606 $aClimate change 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aNature Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aNature conservation. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 14$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aNature Conservation. 615 24$aClimate Change. 676 $a577.144 702 $aDatta$b Rahul$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMeena$b Ram Swaroop$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPathan$b Shamina Imran$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCeccherini$b Maria Teresa$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910366638403321 996 $aCarbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Soil$92124876 997 $aUNINA
