Summary
The rhizosphere is a very complex environment. This book deals with the basic concepts in rhizosphere biology and the techniques used in these studies. The topics include the bacterial community composition, rhizosphere of arbuscular mycorrhizal roots, significance of AM fungi in relation to form and functioning of the root system, and many more
