Are there any de facto books for studying soil biology; specifically with details in the context of food webs? I am trying to teach myself about the subject and would like a good introductory book, although I will take any recommendations. Thanks

A very good resource can be found here:
http://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/global-soil-biodiversity-atlas
If you focus on soil analysis this resource could be helpful:

I could also recommend the book http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783642309410 with which I worked extensively. It covers the soil chemistry very well.

I really enjoyed reading "Essential Soil Science" by M.R Ashman and G.Puri.
Seems to be easy to get online as a pdf as well.
