1733008. MADSEN, EUGENE L. Environmental microbiology: from genomes to biogeochemistry/ Eugene L. Madsen.- Oxford: Blackwell, 2008.- ix, 479 p.: ill. (some col.); 26 cm.. Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9781405136471 Tóm tắt: Over the past 20 years, environmental microbiology has grown from relative obscurity into a vibrant area of both pure and applied science. Environmental microbiology is inherently multidisciplinary-relying upon contributions from analytical chemistry, geosciences, environmental engineering, public health, ecology, evolution and microbiology. How is it possible to meet the challenge of integrating these disciplines so that students emerge with knowledge, competence, and enthusiasm?This well-referenced resource is filled with ideas, connections, and concepts that advance an in-depth understanding of this growing segment of biology. Core principles are highlighted with an emphasis on the logic of the science and new, methods-driven discoveries. Numerous up-to-date examples and applications boxes provide tangible reinforcement of material covered. Study questions at the end of each chapter require students to utilize analytical and quantitative approaches, to define and defend arguments, and to apply microbiological paradigms to their personal interests. Essay assignments and related readings stimulate student inquiry and serve as focal points for teachers to launch classroom discussions.Environmental Microbiology: from genomes to biogeochemistry offers a coherent and comprehensive treatment of this dynamic, emerging field - building bridges between basic biology, ecology, and the environmental sciences (Environmental Microbiology; Microbial ecology; Sinh thái học vi trùng; ) |Sinh thái học vi trùng; | DDC: 579.17 /Price: 1700000 /Nguồn thư mục: [SCTHU]. |
1720914. KIRK, GUY The biogeochemistry of submerged soils/ Guy Kirk.- New York: John Wiley, 2004.- 291 p.; 24 cm. ISBN: 0470863013 Tóm tắt: Submerged soils and the wetlands they support are of huge practical importance: in global element cycles, as centres of biodiversity, in global food production. They are also uniquely interesting scientifically because of their peculiar biogeochemistry and the adaptations of plants and microbes to it. This book describes the physical, chemical and biological processes operating in submerged soils and governing their properties. It describes the transport processes controlling the fluxes of gases and solutes through the soil; the interchange of solutes between solid, liquid and gas phases; reduction and oxidation processes; biological processes in the soil and overlying water; and processes in the roots and rhizospheres of wetland plants. The dynamics of nutrients, toxins, pollutants and trace gases are then discussed in terms of these processes and in relation to wetland productivity and global element cycles. Written by a renowned expert in the field, this work will be invaluable to earth, environmental and agricultural scientists concerned with natural or man-made wetlands, and to advanced undergraduate and graduate studen ts of these topics.
