Magnitude and quality of life as well as sustainable human progress
inescapably depend on the state of our environment. The
environment, in essence, is a common resource of all the living
organisms in the biosphere as well as a vivacious basis of the
evolution of life on Earth. A sustainable future broods over a
sustainable environment-an environment encompassing
life-originating, life-supporting, and life-sustaining uniqueness.
A deteriorating environment haplessly sets in appalling conditions
leading to shrinkage of life and a halt in human progress. The
current global environment scenario is extremely dismal.
Environmental disruptions, largely owing to anthropogenic
activities, are steadily leading to awful climate change. Horribly
advancing toward mass extinction in the near or distant future and
posing a threat to our Living Planet, the unabatedly ongoing
climate change, in fact, is an unprecedented issue of human concern
about life in the recorded human history. How to get rid of the
environmental mess and resolve environmental issues leading to
climate change mitigation is the foremost challenge facing humanity
in our times. There are several measures the whole world is
resorting to. They are primarily focused on cutting down excessive
carbon emissions by means of development of technological
alternatives, for example, increasing mechanical efficiencies and
ever-more dependence on clean-energy sources. These are of great
importance, but there is yet a natural phenomenon that has been,
and will unceasingly be, pivotal to maintain climate order of the
Earth. For it to phenomenally boost, we need to explore deeper
aspects of environmental science. It is the environmental plant
physiology that links us with deeper roots of life. Environmental
Plant Physiology: Botanical Strategies for a Climate-Smart Planet
attempts to assimilate a relatively new subject that helps us
understand the very phenomenon of life that persists in the
planet's environment and depends on, and is influenced by, a
specific set of operating environmental factors. It is the subject
that helps us understand adaptation mechanisms within a variety of
habitats as well as the implications of the alterations of
environmental factors on the inhabiting organisms, their
populations, and communities. Further, this book can also be of
vital importance for policy makers and organizations dealing with
climate-related issues and committed to the cause of the earth.
This book can be instrumental in formulating strategies that can
lead us to a climate-smart planet. Features: * Provides ecological
basis of environmental plant physiology * Discusses energy,
nutrient, water, temperature, allelochemical, and altitude
relations of plants * Reviews stress physiology of plants and
plants' adaptations to the changing climate * Examines
climate-change effects on plant physiology * Elucidates evolving
botanical strategies for a climate-smart planet
