- Contains 26 chapters wrillen by international experts in the field
- Discusses impacts on various environments including agriculture, wetlands, plants, and forests
- Covers all modern.aspects emphasizing molecular biology and ecology
- Includes the latest experimental results
ln biology, nitrogen undergoes a variety of oxidations and reductions that are performed in dilferent ways by dilferent organisms in their quest not only to meettheir demand for nitrogen, but also to gain energy for growth and survival. These reactions make up the biological nitrogen cycle (N-cycle). Components of the N-cycle also alfect life in other ways, which include contributing to global warming, the destruction of the ozone layer in the stratosphere and acting as constituents of acid rain.

ln biology, nitrogen undergoes a variety of oxidations and reductions that are performed in dilferent ways by dilferent organisms in their quest not only to meettheir demand for nitrogen, but also to gain energy for growth and survival. These reactions make up the biological nitrogen cycle (N-cycle). Components of the N-cycle also alfect life in other ways, which include contributing to global warming, the destruction of the ozone layer in the stratosphere and acting as constituents of acid rain. Gathered from an activity entitled "Denitrification in Agriculture, Air and Water Pollution" by the members of Action 856 of European Science Foundation Commillee [COST), Biology of the Nitrogen Cycle is the first publication of its kind in 20 years. This book unites scientists from around the world to discuss the rapid developments in the field through the use of molecular techniques
and the broad implications of the N-cycle reactions on ecology, agriculture and health. From chemistry, enzymology, molecular biology, and physics to
applied aspects including greenhouse elfect, N-pollution problems in soil, air and water, practices in farming, and waste-water treatment, this timely book serves as a powerful handbook for researchers in the field as well as for graduate and advanced undergraduate students.
