A handful of garden dirt may harbour more species than the entire aboveground Amazon. A growing array of scientists is exploring life in soils and sediments, uncovering a living world literally alien to our own senses--and yet one whose integrity turns out to be crucial to life above ground. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Soil animals.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85124343 650 0 Burrowing animals.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85018195 650 7 Soil animals.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1124260 650 7 Burrowing animals.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 841973 655 4 Electronic books. 710 2 International Council of Scientific Unions.|bScientific Committee on Problems of the Environment.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n82259947 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBaskin, Yvonne.|tUnder ground. |dWashington, DC : Island Press/Shearwater Books, ©2005 |z1597260037|z9781597260039|w(DLC) 2004030330 |w(OCoLC)57311475 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=204155|zOnline eBook.
