Description
Advances in Agronomy has the highest impact factor among serial publications in Agriculture. The Science Citation Index, 1986,
reports an impact factor over 2,459 and a cited half-life over 10 years.
Volume 76 contains five excellent reviews on topics of great
interest to crop and soil scientists as well as others in various fields. Chapter 1 is concerned with the potential of tropical soils
to sequester carbon. Topics that are covered include soil inorganic and organic pools and dynamics, loss of soil organic pools from
tropical soils, and potential for C sequestration in tropical soils. Chapter 2 covers the applications of crop/soil simulation models
in tropical agricultural systems. Chapter 3 deals with interorganismal signaling in suboptimum environments with emphasis on legume-rhizobia
symbiosis. Chapter 4 discusses the surface chemistry and function of microbial biofilms. The authors discuss biofilm formation and
matrix architecture and general features and properties. Chapter 5 deals with vegetable crop scheduling and prediction. Topics that
are covered include identification of stages of growth and development and experimental approaches for developing scheduling and prediction
models.

Professionals and students in the field of agronomy and plant, soil, and environmental sciences.
