Caves are one type of subsurface habitat, being natural, solutionally- or collapse-enlarged openings in rock. Within the past 30 years, there has been an increase in the number of microbiology studies from cave environments to understand cave ecology, cave geology, and even the origins of life. By emphasizing the microbial life of caves, and the ecological processes and geological consequences attributed to microbes, this book provides the first authoritative and comprehensive account of the microbial life of caves for students, professionals, and general readers. 410 0$aLife in extreme environments ;$vv. 3. 606 $aBiospeleology 606 $aCave ecology 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aCave animals 606 $aCave plants 606 $aUnderground ecology 615 0$aBiospeleology. 615 0$aCave ecology. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aCave animals. 615 0$aCave plants. 615 0$aUnderground ecology. 676 $a578.75/84 702 $aEngel$b Annette Summers 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797873203321 996 $aMicrobial life of cave systems$93720214 997 $aUNINA
