Model Ecosystems in Extreme Environments, Second Edition examines ecosystems at the most extreme habitats and their interaction with the environment, providing a key element in our understanding of the role and function of microorganisms in nature. The book highlights current topics in the field, such as biodiversity and the structure of microbial communities in extreme environments, the effects of extreme environmental conditions on microbial ecosystems, and ecological and evolutionary interactions in extreme environments, among other topics. It will be a valuable text for faculty and students working with extremophiles and/or microbial ecology and researchers, including astrobiologists, biologists, evolutionary scientists, astronomers, geochemists and oceanographers.

About the Author
Recently he co-edited with Professor Richard Gordon several new series of Diatom books and with Professor Helga Stan-Lotter the volume of Extremophiles as Astronomical Models. In addition, to editing academic volumes, He also edited and translated several popular books and reviewed several chapters and volumes. His recent interest is in the field of enigmatic and extremophilic microorganisms and life in extreme environments and Astrobiology and is currently editing a few new volumes.
Pabulo Henrique Rampelotto is Professor at the Center of Biotechnology and PPGBCM, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. He has been involved in extensive research in astrobiology, genomics, biotechnology, and life in extreme environments. Prof. Rampelotto has extensive editorial experience, including as Editor-in-Chief of Current Biotechnology and Editor of the book series Grand Challenges in Biology and Biotechnology. He also serves as Associate Editor, Guest Editor and member of the Editorial Board of several scientific journals in the field of Life Sciences and Biotechnology. His research interests encompass different fields of science, from basic to applied research, including: biotechnology, metagenomics, next generation sequencing, molecular biology and biochemistry of microorganisms, microbial ecology, extremophiles, origins of life, astrobiology, and space science (Solar System exploration). Most of his recent work has been dedicated to the editorial process of several scientific journals in life science and biotechnology, as well as on the organization of special issues on his fields of expertise. In his special issues, some of the most distinguished team leaders in the field have published their work, ideas and findings, including Nobel Laureates and several highly cited scientists according to the ISI Institute. His landmark work thus far is the special issue Grand Celebration: 10th Anniversary of the Human Genome Project.
