Microorganisms in Saline Environments: Strategies and Functions

This book gathers the latest findings on the microbial ecology of saline habitats, plant-microbe interactions under saline conditions, and saline soil reclamation for agricultural use. The content is divided into four main parts: I: definition, genesis and impact of salinity & microbial diversit...
