Reihe: Soil Biology

This is the first release in Springer’s new series, Soil Biology. For this volume, experts from universities, government laboratories and industry, explore innovative methods in bioremediation and phytoremediation. There are as yet no commercial technologies commonly used to remediate the most recalcitrant contaminants, such as explosives, pesticides and metallic pollutants. Nevertheless, bioremediation is a rapidly advancing field and new bio-based remedial technologies are continuing to emerge.
