دانلود کتاب Biochar and soil biota – بیوچار و بیوتای خاک

توضیحات

Biochar, a biomass that is burned at a very high temperature in the absence of oxygen, has recently become an interesting subject of study. Biochar is highly stable and does not degrade; it possesses physical properties that assist in retention of nutrients in the soil. The use of biochar will undoubtedly have a significant impact not only on soil nutrients but also on soil organism communities and their functions. This book focuses on how the ecology and biology of soil organisms are affected by the addition of biochar to soils. It takes into account direct and indirect effects of biochar addition to soils, on the soil carbon cycle, impact on plant resistance to foliar and soil borne disease, interactions with pathogenic, mycorrhizal and saprophytic fungi. Special focus has been put on application of biochar to remediate polluted soils, taking into account possible toxic effects of biochar on soil fauna. On of the chapters provides extended information on the role of biochar in soil using isotopic tracing techniques. The chapters have been written by experienced and internationally recognized scientists in the field. This book will be useful to students and researchers in agronomy, biology, ecology, and environmental mangers from both academic as well as industrial organization — P. [4] of cover. Read more…
