The book provides an overview relevant to various biological
mechanisms that regulate carbon exchanges between the major
components and their response to climate change. Climate change has
a significant impact on people's lives, energy demand, food
security, etc. The soil microbial ecology is vital for assessing
terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles and climate feedback.
However, the primary concern is the complexity of the soil
microbial community and its severely affected functions due to the
climate and other global changes. Global warming comprises an
assessment of the dynamic interactions and feedback between
microbes, plants, and their physical environment due to climate
change. The book will address the need to use a multifactor
experimental approach to understand how soil microorganisms and
their activities adapt to climate change and the implications of
carbon cycle feedback. The most pressing concern is a clearer
understanding of the biological factors that regulate carbon
exchanges between land, oceans, and the atmosphere and how these
exchanges will respond to climate change via climate-ecosystem
feedbacks, which could augment or quell regional and global climate
change. Terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in climate
feedback as they produce and absorb greenhouse gases like carbon
dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides. They also strongly contribute
to storing enormous amounts of carbon in living vegetation and
soils, rendering them a significant global carbon sink. If climate
change projections are realistic, such a rapid increase in carbon
loss from soil could exacerbate the soil carbon cycle feedback. The
book will determine the role of microbial feedback in regulating
soil-land-atmosphere carbon exchange under changing climatic
conditions at the regional and global levels. The current book will
also focus on recent research designed to use beneficial microbes
such as plant growth-promoting microorganisms, fungi, endophytic
microbes, and others to improve understanding of the interaction
and their potential role in promoting advanced management for
sustainable agricultural solutions. Understanding the influence on
the native microbiome, such as the distribution of methanogens and
methanotrophs, nutritional content, microbial biomass, and other
factors, is becoming increasingly crucial to establishing
climate-resilient agriculture.
