Department of Agronomy, Kansas State University - Soil Microbial Ecology Laboratory. Research work of the laboratory is based on study of nutrients' cycles in soil, ecology of soil microorganisms, and bacterial contamination of surface waters. Research projects, committees, personnel, publications etc.

The Soil Ecology Restoration Group (SERG) at San Diego State University. The research emphasis of this group is on ecosystem dynamics of arid and semiarid lands. Theoretically analysis of fundamental processes and structures is complemented by applied research in dry land restoration. The primary focus is on soils and belowground processes in arid and semiarid ecosystems with emphasis on microbial ecology and plant-microorganism relationships.

Laboratory of Soil Ecology and Microbiology, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI. Our research interests span many aspects of soil ecology and microbiology, from a fundamental understanding of the biogeochemistry and ecological interactions among soil fauna and plants, to the microbial ecology of domestic wastewater treatment in leachfield soils. On the education side, our focus is on the use of Problem-Based Learning in soil science, providing experiential learning experiences for undergraduate students in natural resources, and science education reform at the K-12 level.

The Soils Zoo is a virtual zoo, which shows some of the different types of animals and organisms that live in soil. Some of these you could find yourself if you looked carefully into your garden or compost heap. Some of them are so small, they can only be seen using the most powerful microscopes.

Soil salinity is a measure of the total amount of soluble salt in soil. As salinity levels increase, plants extract water less easily from soil, aggravating water stress conditions. High soil salinity can also cause nutrient imbalances, result in the accumulation of elements toxic to plants, and reduce water infiltration if the level of one salt element--sodium--is high. In many areas throughout Utah, soil salinity is the factor limiting plant growth.
