This book is partially based on talkings developed during the International Workshop on Soil Enzymology took place at the facilities of the IMIA in May 2001, attended by some of the most prestigious experts such as Richard Burns, Paolo Nannipieri or Brunello Ceccanti, together with representatives of all research teams within the Group. The contents of the book are as following:
