Beschreibung:
Richard Bardgett is Professor of Ecology at the University of Manchester. He has studied soils and their ecology in many parts of the world, and authored and co-authored several books, including The Biology of Soil (OUP 2005) and Aboveground-Belowground Interactions (OUP 2010). He is an Editor of Journal of Ecology and was Vice President of the British Ecological Society (2011-2014).
Earth Matters describes the importance of soil, the many ways in which we depend on it, and how humans have worked with the soil throughout history. Exploring the reasons for increasing recognition and respect for soil even among town and city dwellers, Bardgett concludes with a look at current efforts to stop widespread soil degradation.
