It is an extremely complex environment, supporting levels of diversity far greater than any ecosystem above ground. This book explores how soil structure develops and the consequences this has for life underground. The effects of spatial arrangement, of soil's physical and biological components on their interaction and function are used to demonstrate their roles in ecosystem dynamics. Bringing together existing knowledge in the areas of soil biology and physics, this book explores the key characteri 606 $aSoil structure 606 $aSoil biology 606 $aSoil ecology 615 0$aSoil structure. 615 0$aSoil biology. 615 0$aSoil ecology. 676 $a631.4 701 $aRitz$b K$g(Karl)$065565 701 $aYoung$b Iain$f1962-$01267326 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910626113103321 996 $aThe Architecture and biology of soils$92980060 997 $aUNINA
