Nitrogen fixation is currently of great practical importance because the use of nitrogenous fertilizers has resulted in unacceptable levels of water pollution and the fact that these fertilizers are becoming steadily less economic both in cash terms and in utilization of fossil fuels for their manufacture.

Many people learn the rudiments of the nitrogen cycle while at school. However, the details of the various processes in the cycle and their magnitude are still not fully understood. Some of them are of great current interest, for example use of nitrogen fixing crops to feed the increasing world population and the problems of pollution of groundwaters by nitrates. While some of the world needs to fix nitrogen, other parts are using natural processes of denitrification (forming nitrogen gas) as a way of getting rid of waste from humans and intensively farmed animals.
This book describes the...

A special meeting of the Royal Society in London in 1986 marked the centenary of the first demonstration of nitrogen fixation. Currently the subject is of great practical importance because the use of nitrogenous fertilizers has resulted in unacceptable levels of water pollution; also these fertilizers are becoming steadily less economic both in cash terms and in utilization of fossil fuels for their manufacture. The number of papers published and the frequency of national and international meetings to discuss research into nitrogen fixation have both increased steadily during the 1970s and...

This book is the stand-alone final volume of a comprehensive series covering the basic and applied science relating to nitrogen fixation. It addresses the most important nitrogen-fixing symbiosis of all that between legumes and their root-nodule bacteria and therefore deals with the properties and behaviour of both macro- and micro-symbiont. The coverage is comprehensive, beginning with the extent of the symbiosis and how it may have arisen in the geological past. It considers how legumes select the root-nodule bacteria they allow to form nodules on their roots and the intricate series of...
