Description
Volume 88 contains eight timely reviews on topics dealing with biodiversity, carbon sequestration, crop improvement,
nitrogen dynamics, and the discipline of soil science. Discussions include but are not limited to: Agriculture, soil biodiversity, climate
change and agricultural diversity; ways to improve soil aeration, oxygation and plant processes, and oxygation scenarios; and pre-sowing
seed treatment as a means for improving germination, plant growth and crop yield.
Advances in Agronomy continues to
be recognized
as a leading reference and a first-rate source for the latest research in agronomy. As always, the subjects covered are
varied and exemplary of the myraid of subject matter dealt with by thislong-running serial.
Audience
Professionals, researchers, students, and government involved in agronomy, crop & soil sciences, plant science, and environmental sciences
