THE ROTHAMSTED MONOGRAPHS ON

THE MICRO-ORGANISMS OF THE SOIL
THE ROTHAMSTED MONOGRAPHS ON
AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE.
Edited by Sir E. JOHN RUSSELL, D.Sc., F.R.S.
During the past ten years there have been marked developments in knowledge of the relations between the soil and the growing plant. The subject involves physical, biological, and chemical considerations, and its ramifications are now so wide that they cannot be satisfactorily dealt with in detail in any one book. These monographs collectively cover the whole ground. In “Soil Conditions and Plant Growth” the general outlines are presented: in the monographs the various divisions are fully and critically dealt with by the Heads of the Departments concerned at Rothamsted. A homogeneous treatment is thus secured that will, it is hoped, much facilitate the use of the series.
