Springer Effect Of Mineral-Organic-Microorganism Interactions On Soil And Freshwater Environments 1999 Edition by Jacques Berthelin P.M. Huang J-M. Bollag Francis Andreux
The Working Group M.O. (Interactions of soil minerals with organic components and microorganisms) (WGMO) of the International Soil Science Society (ISSS) was founded in 1990 at the 14th World Congress of Soil Science (Kyoto Japan) with Professor P.M. Huang being the Chairman. Since then the Working Group M.O. has served as a forum to bring together soil chemists soil mineralogists soil microbiologists soil biochemists soil physi cists and environmental ecological and health scientists. The objective of the Working Group M.O. is to promote research teaching and also the exchange of technology concerning the knowledge and the impact of the interactions between minerals-organics and microorganisms on environmental quality agricultural sustainability and ecosystem "health". This group is first a scientific group as defined just previously but it also intends to develop exchange and transfer between scientists and engineers. The first International Meeting organized by Professor P. M. Huang was held in Edmonton Canada in August 1992 where 87 papers were presented by scientists from 20 countries. Following this meeting a two volume book was edited by P. M. Huang J. Berthelin J.-M. Bollag W. B. McGill and A. L. Page entitled "Environmental impact of soil component interaction" : Volume I "Natural and anthropogenic organic-volume II "Metals other inorganic and microbial activities" and published by c.R.C.
