"...It is well written and well documented..." (European Journal of Soil Science, March 2003)

"...a useful and reasonably balanced book that improves our understanding of a key feature of soil ecology...I therefore recommend this text..." (Journal of Environmental Quality, Vol. 32, July-August 2003)

Wechselwirkungen von Mineralien, organischen Verbindungen und Mikroorganismen im Boden: Dieses Handbuch wertet aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse auf diesem Gebiet kritisch aus und erläutert die Bedeutung der Zusammenhänge für Ökosysteme. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt bildet die Wechselbeziehung zwischen Schadstoffen im Boden und Populationen von Mikroorganismen.
