Soil Biological Communities and Ecosystem Resilience
This volume explores current knowledge and methods used to study soil organisms and to attribute their activity to wider ecosystem functions. Biodiversity not only responds to environmental change, but has also been shown to be one of the key drivers of ecosystem function and service delivery. Soil biodiversity in tree-dominated ecosystems is also governed by these principles, the structure of soil biological communities is clearly determined by environmental, as well as spatial, temporal and hierarchical factors. Global environmental change, together with land-use change and ecosystem management by humans, impacts the aboveground structure and composition of tree ecosystems. Due to existing...
Technological Eco-Innovations for the Quality Control and the Decontamination of Polluted Waters and Soils
The Special Issue “Technological Eco-Innovations for the Quality Control and the Decontamination of Polluted Waters and Soils” deals with the most recent research activities carried out at lab and field scale on eco-sustainable tools for the remediation of contaminated environmental substrates. It is particularly devoted to highlight the relevance of biological organisms (plants, microbes, algae) to assess the chemical contamination in water and soil and to remediate such matrices from the pollution caused by the human activities. Therefore, bioremediation is a primary focus of most of the articles published within the present Special Issue. Bioremediation is a promising environmentally ...
Phytomanagement as a nature-based solution for polluted soils
Phytoremediation, Volume 109 in the Advances in Botanical Research series, highlights new advances on phytoremediation. Chapters in this new release include Plant-microbiome interactions and their role in recovering ecosystems from organic contaminants, Aquatic macrophytes: the potential candidate for polluted water phytoremediation, Rare earth elements in plants : uptake, accumulation and tolerance, Poplar as a woody model for phytomanagement strategies, Plant-based remediation of industrially contaminated soils: principles and case study, Phytoremediation of Arsenic contaminated soils by hyperaccumulating fern Pteris vittata, Effects of phytomanagement of heavy metal polluted soils with wo...
Global Change and River Ecosystems - Implications for Structure, Function and Ecosystem Services
Rivers around the world are threatened by changes in land use, climate, hydrologic cycles, and biodiversity. Global changes in rivers include, but are not restricted to water flow interruptions, temperature increases, loss of hydrological connectivity, altered water residence times, changes in nutrient loads, increasing arrival of new chemicals, simplification of the physical structure of the systems, occurrence of invasive species, and biodiversity losses. All of them affect the structure and functioning of the river ecosystem, and thereby, their ecosystem services. Understanding the responses of river ecosystems and their services to global change is essential for protecting human well bei...
Below-Ground Interactions in Ecological Processes
Aboveground interactions between plants and organisms have served as a foundation of ecological and evolutionary theories. Accumulating evidence suggests that interactions that occur belowground can have immense influence on eco-evolutionary dynamics of plants. Despite the increasing awareness among scientists of the importance of belowground interactions for plant performance and community dynamics, they have received considerably less theoretical and empirical attention compared to aboveground interactions. In this eBook we aim to highlight the overlooked roles of belowground interactions and outline their myriad ecological roles, from affecting soil health through impacting plant interactions with above-ground fauna. This eBook with 18 articles and an Editorial includes conceptual contribution together with original research work. The chapters are exploring the roles of belowground biotic interactions, in the context of ecological processes both below- and above-ground.
