Volume 88: Advances in Agronomy, 1st Edition

Key Features

* Over 40 figures and 32 tables
* Presents a review of the present and future status of soil science
* Offers an analysis of biodiversity in agronomy

Description

Volume 88 contains eight timely reviews on topics dealing with biodiversity, carbon sequestration, crop improvement, nitrogen dynamics, and the discipline of soil science. Discussions include but are not limited to: Agriculture, soil biodiversity, climate change and agricultural diversity; ways to improve soil aeration, oxygation and plant processes, and oxygation scenarios; and pre-sowing seed treatment as a means for improving germination, plant growth and crop yield.

Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized
as a leading reference and a first-rate source for the latest research in agronomy. As always, the subjects covered are varied and exemplary of the myraid of subject matter dealt with by thislong-running serial.

Readership
