Soil biology and biochemistry experiments

About The Book

The study of soil as a natural resource on the Earth’s surface, including its creation, classification, and mapping, as well as its physical, chemical, biological, and fertility features and how these properties relate to how soils are used and managed, is known as soil science. The study of microbiological, faunal, and ecological activities in soil is known as soil biology. All creatures that spend a considerable portion of their life cycle in a soil profile or at the soil-litter interface are referred to as soil life, soil biota, or soil fauna. There are numerous interactions between living and non-living elements in soils, making them rich ecosystems. In all of our natural biological cycles, soils are crucial. Additionally, they benefit society by participating in a variety of other processes known as ecosystem services. These services include degrading environmental toxins, serving as a water filtering system, and decomposing garbage. One area of soil science called soil biochemistry studies the growth and decay of organic matter in soils, the biochemical responses of metals, xenobiotics, phosphorus, sulphur, and carbon in soils, as well as the biochemistry of the rhizosphere around plant roots. The book will meet the demands of readers in general as well as students, teachers, and academics.

Denis Buffet is a fellow of the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry and a board-certified clinical chemist. He conducted post-doctoral studies in the Faculty of Medicine after receiving his Ph.D. in Biochemistry. He began his career in the Department of Biochemistry as a Lecturer and later rose to the position of Senior Lecturer. He is a member of multiple scientific and editorial bodies and has published widely in clinical and basic science. In the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, he is actively involved in the teaching of pathology residents and fellows. He is currently Clinical Laboratory Partners' vice president and chief scientist. He has written more than 210 scientific articles and books, both as an author and an editor. He has held positions on various journals' editorial boards. The Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry employed Danni Gilmore. He has created and is the instructor of an intense course on enzyme technology, soil biology, and biochemistry. Additionally, he is focusing on the delicate immobilisation of enzyme activities on synthetic surfaces, a technique that has been successfully used to restore damaged documents. He has written more than eighty scientific publications, is the subject of eight international patents, and has been cited more than 4,200 times. High praise has been given to his work in genetics and medication discovery
