Publisher Summary 1
With the goal of building towards high-yielding, sustainable agriculture, the editors (professors of soil microbiology, Justus Liebig U., Germany) present 20 papers that describe recent research related to the diversity of agricultural production systems. They cover geno/phenotype diversity through plant breeding; collected data on soil space diversity and dynamics; analysis of species richness of microbial communities (bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes) in soils and in plant interactions; examination of lumbricid earthworms and ants as important distributors of microbes in soil; metabolic diversity of microorganisms and their relation to the distribution and function of soil enzymes; greenhouse gas emissions through agriculture; principles and strategies of order between interacting molecules, cells, species, and communities; models of food chain interactions; and biological soil characteristics and long-term field observations for soil quality assessment and sustainability.
