Description: Microbiome Under Changing Climate Implications and Solutions Presents recent advancements in understanding the role of microbiome in sustainably addressing agricultural production Ajay Kumar (Edited by), Joginder Singh Panwar (Edited by), Luiz Fernando Romanholo Ferreira (Edited by) 9780323905718 Paperback / softback, published 24 January 2022 574 pages 23.5 x 19 x 3.5 cm, 1.18 kg Microbiome Under Changing Climate: Implications and Solutions presents the latest biotechnological interventions for the judicious use of microbes to ensure optimal agricultural yield. Summarizing aspects of vulnerability, adaptation and amelioration of climate impact, this book provides an important resource for understanding microbes, plants and soil in pursuit of sustainable agriculture and improved food security. It emphasizes the interaction between climate and soil microbes and their potential role in promoting advanced sustainable agricultural solutions, focusing on current research designed to use beneficial microbes such as plant growth promoting microorganisms, fungi, endophytic microbes, and more. Changes in climatic conditions influence all factors of the agricultural ecosystem, including adversely impacting yield both in terms of quantity and nutritional quality. In order to develop resilience against climatic changes, it is increasingly important to understand the effect on the native micro-flora, including the distribution of methanogens and methanotrophs, nutrient content and microbial biomass, among others. 1.
