The Spatial Distribution of Microbes in the Environment (Hardcover, 2007 ed.)

This volume highlights recent advances that have contributed to our understanding of spatial patterns and scale issues in microbial ecology. The book brings together research conducted at a range of spatial scales (from m to km) and in a variety of different types of environments.
