DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis practical handbook describes sampling and laboratory assessment methods for the biodiversity of a number of key functional groups of soil organisms, including insects, earthworms, nematodes, fungi and bacteria. The methods have been assembled and the protocols drafted by a number of scientists associated with the UNEP-GEF funded Conservation and Sustainable Management of Below-Ground Biodiversity Project, executed by the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility (TSBF) Institute of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). The methods provide a standardized basis for characterizing soil biodiversity and current land uses in terrestrial natural, semi-natural and agroecosystems in tropical forests and at forest margins. The aim is to assess soil biodiversity against current and historic land use practices both at plot and landscape scales and, further, to identify opportunities for improved sustainable land management through the introduction, management or remediation of soil biota, thus reducing the need for external inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. The book also contains extensive advice on the handling of specimens and the allocation of organisms to strain or functional group type. Published with TSBF-CIAT, CTA, UNEP and GEF

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs with the highly popular original, this new edition of Soil Sampling, Preparation, and Analysis provides students with an exceptionally clear description of the sampling and analysis methods most commonly used in modern soil laboratories around the world. What sets it apart as the first choice of professors is the grounding it offers in fundamental principles, professional protocols, and specific procedures. What makes it especially popular with students is that it spares them from having to tote large volumes for the sake of a page or two. Fully revised to introduce the latest advances, the text is lucidly illustrated with original results garnered from years of hands-on experiments conducted by the author and his students. In response to requests from active users of the first edition, these new features have been added: § Three new chapters on soil and plant test methods § A focus on testing and analysis limited to edaphology, as opposed to edaphology and pedology as a whole in the ecosystem § Information and insight reflecting the author’s expertise on electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance § Extensive revisions and expansion to include recent advances and shifting interests in the field Soil Sampling, Preparation, and Analysis is divided into three sections: the first covers principles of soil sampling, sources of errors, and variability of results; the second explains common procedures for extraction and analysis in soil plant testing; and the last covers instrumentation. While Professor Tan designed and further honed the book to serve the practical needs of students, with this volume he also provides them with an essential reference that will continue to serve them throughout their training and into their careers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book `Plant Analysis: Comprehensive Methods and Protocols' is a complete laboratory manual for analytical methods and techniques in the field of Agriculture, Plant Physiology, Biochemistry and related Plant Sciences. Right from nutrient analysis in plants, it covers estimations of macromolecules, such as amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids and metabolites of fatty acid metabolism. Protocols for the assay of various enzymes of nitrogen metabolism, ammonia assimilation, photosynthetic CO2-fixation, reactive oxygen species, carbohydrate, phosphorus and energy metabolism have been elucidated in the book. Special emphasis has also been given to techniques on specific topics such as Electrophoresis, Molecular Biology, Histo-enzymology, Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation and assay of plant growth hormones. Thus the present book is one stop solution for all important techniques and analytical methods for students and research workers engaged in plant sciences and agricultural research.
