About the Book

Some pioneers in soil research such as Muller and Kubiena were as much biologists as they were soil scientists and the legendary biologist Charles Darwin was foresighted in recognizing the earthworms as instrumental in reworking the soil, thereby forming what he called "vegetable mould". Still, soil science has largely been the realm of physicists and chemists over the past decades. Whatever the reason, this picture is rapidly changing, Until recently, research on the transport and transformation of elements in soil was often concerned with either soil biota/plant relationships or with soil structure/plant relationships, if the biota were considered at all, but very few studies explicitly took the interrelationships between soil structure and soil biota into account. The conference on Soil Structure/Soil Biota Interrelationships, held at Wageningen, The Netherlands, 24-28 November 1991, was meant to bridge that gap, focussing on methods of research, organized in three levels: features, processes and effects. The proceedings of the conference are testimony of the need to intertwine the biological, morphological, physical and chemical disciplines in soil research to understand better and forecast soil properties and processes as related to land use for agricultural and other purposes. This book should be of particular interest to soil scientists and ecologists who feel the need for a cross-disciplinary approach in soils research. It should also be a rich source of teaching material for courses in soil science and soil ecology at graduate level and above, with ample reference to studies on land use as related to agriculture and the environment.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Soil features: observation, description and quantification of soil biota in situ; effects of soil biota on soil structure and soil structure on biota (2 invited papers, 21 contributed papers, 2 round tables). Part 2 Soil processes: translation of soil features into biologically mediated processes (3 invited papers, 19 contributed papers). Part 3 Evaluation of effects of soil feature and soil biological processes on soils and plants (3 invited papers, 5 contributed papers, 2 round tables).
