Nitrogen Fixing Organisms: Pure and Applied AspectsThis book is concerned essentially with how nitrogen-fixing organisms function and why they are of practical importance. Special chapters deal with nitrogen fixation in agriculture, in forestry, and in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In an appendix an outline of the main methods used for measuring nitrogen fixation, and some of the problems that must be faced is given |
