Researchers have established that numerable aquatic plants have a
high medicinal value. Despite this, there is currently no book
available in the market which provides full information on the
phytochemical and medicinal uses of exclusively aquatic medicinal
plants growing in fresh and marine water bodies. Provides a
comprehensive overview of aquatic medicinal plants of the world and
their potential uses. This book will be useful for
scientists/researchers working in freshwater, marine, and wetlands
medicinal plants. Moreover, the proposed book will also facilitate
understanding and interaction of medicinal plants in a specific
ecosystem. This book helps identify some important aquatic
medicinal plants and their future possibility for the synthesis or
preparation of modern drugs.

Nanomaterials is an encouraging field for scientists and
researchers due to its numerous applications in different fields
such as medicine, energy, pharmaceutical, environmental science,
agricultural food science and technology. Researchers are shifting
towards the synthesis of nanoparticles using various plant systems.
This book gives a complete overview of current developments in
nanotechnology-based environmental remediation and sustainable
agriculture practices/sectors. It will provide the use of
nanotechnology in the agricultural sector such as crop production
and improvement, soil fertility management along with benefits and
risks of nanotechnology on ecological farming. Additionally, the
book also discovers how nanotechnology is used in water, air
remediation techniques and major challenges in using nanomaterials
for improving water and air quality. The book can be a reference
source for academicians, scientists, policymakers, students, and
research scientists working in minimizing the environmental
pollution and increasing agricultural production using
nanoparticles.
Forests cover thirty-one percent of the world's land surface,
provide habitats for animals, livelihoods for humans, and generate
household income in rural areas of developing countries. They also
supply other essential amenities, for instance, they filter water,
control water runoff, protect soil erosion, regulate climate, store
nutrients, and facilitate countless non-timber forest products
(NTFPs). The main NTFPs comprise herbs, grasses, climbers, shrubs,
and trees used for food, fodder, fuel, beverages, medicine,
animals, birds and fish for food, fur, and feathers, as well as
their products, like honey, lac, silk, and paper. At present, these
products play an important role in the daily life and well-being of
millions of people worldwide. Hence the forest and its products are
very valuable and often NTFPs are considered as the 'potential
pillars of sustainable forestry'. NTFPs items like food, herbal
drugs, forage, fuel-wood, fountain, fibre, bamboo, rattans, leaves,
barks, resins, and gums have been continuously used and exploited
by humans. Wild edible foods are rich in terms of vitamins,
protein, fat, sugars, and minerals. Additionally, some NTFPs are
used as important raw materials for pharmaceutical industries.
Numerous industry-based NTFPs are now being exported in
considerable quantities by developing countries. Accordingly, this
sector facilitates employment opportunities in remote rural areas.
So, these developments also highlight the role of NTFPs in poverty
alleviation in different regions of the world. This book provides a
wide spectrum of information on NTFPs, including important
references. We hope that the compendium of chapters in this book
will be very useful as a reference book for graduate and
postgraduate students and researchers in various disciplines of
forestry, botany, medical botany, economic botany, ecology,
agroforestry, and biology. Additionally, this book should be useful
for scientists, experts, and consultants associated with the
forestry sector.
