Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Processes in Microbial Ecology offers a compelling look into the roles of microbes and viruses in biogeochemical and ecological processes occurring in soils, fresh water, and the ocean. Microbes such as bacteria, archaea, and fungi are the most numerous organisms on the planet and mediate nearly all steps in all elemental cycles, most importantly, the carbon cycle.The book begins by introducing the microbes, where they live, and howenvironmental conditions shape their complex communities. It then discusses how advances in technologies like genomics and other approaches have transformed our understanding of microbial life by uncovering theincredible diversity of microbes and viruses in natural environments. The book explores the specialized metabolic strategies that microbes have evolved to thrive in every imaginable habitat, from the deep subsurface to acidic hot springs.A chapter devoted to the carbon cycle focuses on sunlight-driven primary production by cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae. As much as half of primary production is consumed by the microbial loop and the microbial chain, pathways forcarbon that were not part of the classic food chain. The carbon from primary production is returned to carbon dioxide during organic matter degradation by bacteria and fungi in both oxygen-rich andoxygen-deficient environments. A later chapter spotlights how essential microbes are to the ecology and evolution of larger, more complex organisms, including humans. These symbioses illustrate how hosts and their microbes function as an integrated unit.Microbial ecology is vital for studying the production and consumption of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and for addressing climate change, the largest environmental problem facing society today. In addition to thechapters focused on carbon dioxide removal and production by microbes during primary production and organic matter degradation, a chapter introducing geomicrobiology explores the contribution of microbesto the formation of carbonate rocks, which are the largest store of carbon on Earth, and to weathering reactions, which consume carbon dioxide over thousands of years. Other chapters review production and consumption of two more greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxide, by archaea, bacteria, and fungi.This textbook demonstrates how understanding the smallest organisms is critical for understanding our planet. This textbook provides a broad introduction to the study of microbes and viruses in soils, lakes, and the ocean, their roles in the carbon cycle and other biogeochemical processes, and their symbiotic relationships with animals and plants, demonstrating how understanding the smallest organisms is critical for understanding our planet.

Hardback. Condition: New. Microbial ecology is the study of interactions among microbes in natural environments and their roles in biogeochemical cycles, food web dynamics, and the evolution of life. Microbes are the most numerous organisms in the biosphere and mediate many critical reactions in elemental cycles and biogeochemical reactions. Because they are essential players in the carbon cycle and related processes, microbial ecology is a vital science for understanding the role of the biosphere in global warming and the response of natural ecosystems to climate change. This second edition has been fully revised, restructured, and updated while remaining concise and accessible. It discusses the major processes carried out by viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and other protists - the microbes - in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems. The focus is on biogeochemical processes, starting with primary production and the initial fixation of carbon into cellular biomass, before exploring how that carbon is degraded in both oxygen-rich (oxic) and oxygen-deficient (anoxic) environments. These processes are in turn affected by ecological interactions, including competition for limiting nutrients, viral lysis, and predation by various protists in soils and aquatic habitats. The book neatly connects processes occurring at the micron scale to events happening at the global scale, including the carbon cycle and its connection to climate change issues. A final chapter is devoted to symbiosis and other relationships between microbes and larger organisms. Microbes have huge impacts not only on biogeochemical cycles, but also on the ecology and evolution of more complex forms of life, including humans.…
