PREFACE
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. Lewis Pub
lishers (1995).
Specialized and shorter co-sponsored meetings were held in Mexico (in 1994) at the
15th World Congress of Soil Science (Symposium entitled "Interactions of soil compo
nents, agricultural ecosystems and health issues") and in St. Louis (MO, USA), in the 1995
SSSA National Meeting (workshop entitled "Soil chemistry and Ecosystems Health",
SSSA special publication number 52, 1998).
The second International Meeting "ISMOM96" was held in Nancy, France, Septem
ber 1996. It was devoted to the knowledge and application of the effect of Mineral-Organic
Microorganism Interactions on Soil and Freshwater Environments. During this symposium,
6 lectures, 48 oral communications and 60 posters (116 presentations) were presented in five
topics from participants of 25 countries.
After this second International Symposium "ISMOM96", manuscripts were submit
ted for review and forty were accepted to produce this volume presenting the main topics of
the conference and providing also a common framework for the Working Group M.O.
The . symposium and this volume have been organized with the help of different
institutions, organizations, companies and members of the Centre de Pedologie Biologique.
We are grateful to the authors who have contributed to this publication and to the external

INTRODUCTION AND SCIENTIFIC
PRESENTATION OF THE VOLUME
Major and trace elements, organo-mineral, and organic compounds of different origins,
undergo continual transformation and cycling within the terrestrial environments, partic
ularly in the soil, freshwater and ocean compartments. In the soils, at the interfaces between
atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere, these transformations, evolutions and
cycling depend on the dependence of interactions between minerals-organics and micro
organisms that control and influence directly or indirectly their chemical, biological, and
physical properties and also their functioning and qUality.
In fact, soils can be considered as complex multiphasic interactive biogeochemical
reactors, reservoirs of microorganisms and major compartment of terrestrial ecosystems
under the influence of antbropic activities.
To improve our knowledge and management of the different soil functions, e.g. cycling
of elements, cycling and quality of water, air quality, support of plant growth and plant
production, support of human activities, waste deposits, etc., it appears necessary to en
hance the information and understanding of the interactions of soil minerals with organic
components and microorganisms.
More often, such information is dispersed because studies are mainly performed under
one's own field of interest and/or discipline. This is the reason why the Working Group
M.O., that develops studies of the interactions between minerals, organic components and
microorganisms in soils," was founded to promote research, teaching and technology in
these interdisciplinary fields.
The present volume arose from the Nancy Meeting "ISMOM96" and is devoted to the
theme "Effect of Mineral-Organic-Microorganism Interactions on Soil and Freshwater
Environments" and includes five main topics:
• Reactivity and Transformations of Mineral Constituents and Metals at the soil
solution interfaces
• Nature, Dynamics and Transformations of Organic Compounds and Enzymes in
Soils
• Microorganism-Colloid Interactions and their Effect on Bioavailability of Pollutants
and Nutrients in Terrestrial and Freshwater Environments
• Effect of Microorganism-Colloid-Soil Interactions on Dynamics and Activity of
Microbial Communities and Populations
• Integration of Mineral-Organic-Microorganism Interactions in the Evaluation of
Soil and Freshwater Quality
These topics consider different aspects of the environmental behavior and fate of
natural and anthropogenic organic and inorganic compounds in different soil systems and
Xl
soil-surface water systems under the control of biotic and abiotic processes and parameters
involved.
In this book, overlap of processes, constituents, etc., between the different topics
underline the occurrence, importance, and interest of such interactions. In the near future
such interactive phenomena will have to be much more defined to propose criteria for soil
quality and for soil environmental functions that are needed to help the management of the
whole terrestrial ecosystem.
