The chemical composition of the soil and fertilizers, and the way in which plants and
microorganisms interact with the soil and soil microorganisms can be prime determinants
of crop production. Indeed, the cycles of these chemical elements are basic components
of understanding all ecosystems. This book, a companion volume to Stevenson's Humus
Chemistry provides an exhaustive overview of the inorganic chemical activity taking place
in soil.
