The ongoing global climate change triggered by greenhouse gas
growth has had a significant effect on the microbial dynamics of
plants and soils. This volume explores the various microbial
responses of plants and soils caused directly or indirectly by
climate change resulting from rising greenhouse gases and other
factors. The book considers the rapidly changing environment and
the important role of microbiomes in restoring soil and plant
health and in creating sustainable approaches. It discusses the
adaptation and mitigation of plants and soils, specifically
addressing such topics as biogeochemical processes, antimicrobial
resistance, the dynamics of bacteria and fungus in extreme
environments, bacterial siderophores for sustainability, and more.
The volume also looks at edaphic and regeneration performance of
tree species in the temperate forests.
It presents the research that addresses a diverse array of topics
on the impact of climate change on plant-microbe interactions and
microbial aquatic life, change-induced aggravations in microbial
populations and processes. The book also addresses microbial
foodborne diseases resulting from challenging climates. Other
topics include algae as indicators of climate change and strategies
for facilitating sustainable agro-ecosystems.
Rhizosphere: Ecology, Management and Application highlights the use
of the rhizosphere microbiome to improve plant and soil health,
including strengthening stress resistance and remediating
negatively impacted soils. The book focuses on current developments
and applications of related low input management strategies in
high-value crops as well as non-food plants. Further sections
provide insights into the ecology and functions of these
interactions, including evidence that plant microbiota is vital for
plant growth and stress resilience and health. It highlights
fundamental microbiome research to help readers better understand
the dynamics within microbial communities and their interactions
with various plant hosts and the environment. Microbial-root
associations are essential to assist plants under abiotic and
biotic stresses and are necessary and beneficial to enhancing
agricultural crop production. Numerous studies have enhanced our
vision of the complex interactions between the plant, the
associated microbial communities, and the environment. Further,
microbe – microbe interactions allow the simulation microbial
community interactions naturally, and is one of the many modern
methods for the development of novel and effective metabolites.
Microbiome Drivers of Ecosystem Function focuses on the
advancements in microbial technologies towards harnessing the
microbiome for improved crop productivity and health that are at
the frontier of agricultural sciences. It provides insights into
the diversity of endophytic microbiomes and their potential utility
in agricultural production. Increased crop yield through chemical
interventions have limit thresholds and alternative, natural and/or
integrated approaches are increasingly needed. Microbial inoculants
among the ways in which food production efficiency can be improved.
Plant growth-promoting soil organisms increase net crop uptake of
soil nutrients, resulting in larger crops and higher yields of
harvested food. These and other symbiotic associations between
plants and microbes can ultimately be exploited for the increased
food production necessary to feed the world, in addition to
creating safer farming techniques that minimize ecological
disruption. As a volume in the Microbiome Research in Plants and
Soil series, Microbiome Drivers of Ecosystem Function serves as an
ideal reference for researchers and students in the fields of
agricultural biotechnology, biochemistry, environmental science,
plant biology, agricultural sciences, and agricultural engineering.
Sustainable Agriculture: Advances in Plant Metabolome and
Microbiome focuses on the advancement of basic and applied research
related to plant-microbe interaction and their implementation in
progressive agricultural sustainability. The book also highlights
the developing area of bioinformatics tools for the interpretation
of metabolome, the integration of statistical and bioinformatics
tools to manage huge generating data, metabolite profiling, and key
signaling-driven substances, along with a section on the role of
key biosynthetic pathways. Focused on selecting positive and
effective interactive core-microbiome which will be adaptive and
sustainable, this book will help researchers further improve the
quality and productivity of crops through sustainable agriculture.
