Sixteen papers addressing the 'nitrogen economy'of legumes, including nodulation.

Essentially concerned with how nitrogen-fixing organisms function and why they are of practical importance, this book reflects the influence on this subject of recent developments in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetic engineering and other biotechnologies.

This book describes the general processes of the nitrogen cycle, then gives examples, drawn from all over the world, of how the cycle is modified under particular ecological or geographical conditions. It provides a background for all those whose specialist interests interact with nitrogen cycling.
