The reader learns about microbial ecology of the more dominant and possibly most important desert habitats, detailing the phylogenetic and functional diversity of these different habitats as well as their potential role in desert ecosystem ecology. Particular attention is also given to microbial stress adaptation in hot desert soils. Furthermore, it is the first volume in this particular field to cover modern metagenomics technologies that can be applied to studies of all aspects of desert microbial communities. Additionally, the book explores viruses and viral communities, which are among the least studied (and little understood) components of desert soil microbial communities. Particular attention is also given to the roles of desert microbial communities in biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. Through this book the reader discovers how desert microbiology has been at the forefront of Astrobiology and how it may be used conceptually in future terraforming strategies. Desert ecosystems are increasingly coming into focus given the impacts of climate change and desertification trends, making this volume particularly timely. Each of the chapters is authored by leading international researchers and is a must-read for microbial ecologists. . 001448529 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 3, 2022). 001448529 650_0 $$aDesert ecology. 001448529 650_0 $$aSoil microbiology. 001448529 650_0 $$aDeserts. 001448529 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001448529 7001_ $$aRamond, Jean-Baptiste,$$eeditor. 001448529 7001_ $$aCowan, Don.$$eeditor. 001448529 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030984141$$z9783030984144$$w(OCoLC)1296417462 001448529 830_0 $$aEcological studies ;$$vv. 244.$$x2196-971X 001448529 852__ $$bebk 001448529 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-98415-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001448529 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1448529$$pGLOBAL_SET 001448529 980__ $$aBIB 001448529 980__ $$aEBOOK 001448529 982__ $$aEbook 001448529 983__ $$aOnline 001448529 994__ $$a92$$bISE
