Summary "Secondary Metabolites in Soil Ecology focus on the role of bacterial, fungal and plant secondary metabolites in soil ecosystems. Our understanding of the biological function of secondary metabolites is surprisingly limited, considering our knowledge of their structural diversity and pharmaceutically relevant activities. The volume reviews functional aspects of secondary metabolite production, with a focus on interactions among soil organisms."--Jacket
