Heavy Metal Contamination of Soils Monitoring and Remediation
Following a description of the various sources and factors influencing the contents of heavy metal pollution in post-catastrophic and agricultural soils, subsequent chapters examine soil enzymes and eggs as bio-monitors, lead adsorption, the effects of arsenic on microbial diversity, and the effects of Mediterranean grasslands on abandoned mines. A third section focuses on the adaptation strate…

Plant-Microbe Interaction: An Approach to Sustainable Agriculture
Pertanian berkelanjutan melibatkan perancangan sistem pertanian yang menggunakan alam sebagai model. Pada sebagian besar ekosistem alami, semakin besar keanekaragamannya, semakin tahan ekosistem tersebut terhadap perubahan dan semakin mampu pulih dari gangguan. Dalam ekosistem pertanian atau yang disebut agroekosistem (AES), gangguan jauh lebih sering terjadi, teratur, dan intens. Konsep ekolog…

Microbial-mediated Induced Systemic Resistance in Plants
With a focus on food safety, this book highlights the importance of microbes in sustainable agriculture. Plants, sessile organisms that are considered as primary producers in the ecosystem and communicate with above- and below-ground communities that consist of microbes, insects, and other vertebrate and invertebrate animals, are subjected to various kinds of stress. Broadly speaking, these can…
