Ecorestoration for Sustainability
ECORESTORATION for SUSTAINABILITY With climate change and land degradation advancing at an alarming rate, the state of the global ecosystem and how it can be restored in our march toward sustainability is incredibly important, and this new, groundbreaking volume tackles these important issues head-on. Environmental degradation is causing severe impacts on the various Earth ecosystems. Unsustainable development and anthropogenic pressure have altered the natural balance. From this perspective, sustainability has become a major issue to frame a greener and cleaner Earth for future generations. It can be argued that the worst example of unsustainable development is habitat degradation. Therefor...
Sustainable Forest Resources Management
Forests are one of our most valuable resources, yet they are fast depleting with an impending ecological crisis in view. This new book explores the concept of sustainable forest management that involves the use of socially justifiable, economically viable, and ecologically sound strategies for sustainably managing forest resources for present and future generations without diminishing their value. It looks at sustainable forest management practices and highlights the aspects of forest resources, the importance of traditional knowledge, the need for conservation, the impact of climate change, and ecosystem services. It covers the scientific, technical, and socio-economical aspects of forests to further ensure the conservation of forest resources.
Plans and Policies for Soil Organic Carbon Management in Agriculture
This edited book discusses how effective soil carbon management plans and policies will ultimately make agriculture more secure against climate change and soil degradation. It is focused on initiatives to enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) and sequestration by launching different schemes and programs. An approach based on practical aspects of managing SOC in agriculture is provided with clear and concise descriptions. It has more attention to successfully implement plans and policies to meet the required level of SOC restoration. The book is covering the urgent needs of plans and policies for soil management and C restoration in agricultural ecosystems which can be beneficial to food, nutrition, environment, and economy security. There is also providing a roadmap on SOC policies to encourage the use of best management practices (BMPs) for soil health and C stock restoration, and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The book is suitable for teachers, researchers, government planners and policymakers, undergraduate and graduate students of soil science, soil microbiology, agronomy, ecology, and environmental sciences.
Agroforestry
This book offers comprehensive insights into the management of agroforestry for livelihood security and sustainable development in the tropics, addressing ecological interactions, productivity, and the monetization of carbon credits, while also outlining a future roadmap and policy challenges. Agroforestry is a brilliant land use farming practice that covers 1.6 billion hectares (78 percent in the tropics and 22 percent in the temperate regions) to enhance plant diversification, productivity, and livelihood across generations, maintaining eco-restoration. It ensures socioeconomic upliftment and a standard livelihood for people along with many ecosystem services for sustainable development un...
Sustainable Development Using Geospatial Techniques
This book is a must-have for anyone interested in leveraging geospatial technology, as it covers a wide range of applications and offers valuable insights into the mapping, visualization, and analysis of natural resource planning using GIS, remote sensing, and GPS. Geospatial technology (GT) is a combination of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS), and the global position system (GPS) for the mapping, visualization, and analysis of natural resource planning. Nowadays, GIS is widely used throughout the globe for a wide range of applications. GIS is a system that combines locations, geography, hardware, software, statistics, planning, and digital mapping. GIS is a system i...
Geospatial Technology for Natural Resource Management
This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding and implementing sustainable resource development strategies, as it covers the crucial first stage of assessing resource availability and condition, along with the use of modern geospatial technologies such as remote sensing, GIS, and GPS for surveying, mapping, and monitoring various resources for global environmental protection and sustainable development. The first step in developing a sustainable resource strategy is assessing the availability and condition of resources. This involves evaluating baseline levels, identifying trends, and understanding their consequences. Mitigation policies are then developed based on this asses...
Land Degradation Neutrality: Achieving SDG 15 by Forest Management
This edited book covers all aspects of forest deforestation and degradation in detail and their link to land degradation. Poor natural resource management is often a contributory factor in the depletion of resources particularly like degradation of land which hinders the goals to achieve land degradation neutrality (LDN). Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 15.3 states: “By 2030, combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought, and floods, and strive to achieve a land degradation-neutral world.” To achieve the set goals a comprehensive multidirectional approach is required involving policymakers, field functionaries, resea...
Sustainable Intensification for Agroecosystem Services and Management
This edited book provides a comprehensive account of the sustainable intensification process through various forms of case studies and scientific approaches studied across the globe. It also focuses on the agroecosystem services and their subsequent management for ecological integrity. The book helps to understand the interconnection of food, nutrition, economic growth, and environmental security on the planet. It provides comprehensive information with photographic illustration and various other forms of scientific databases on sustainable intensification of agroecosystems. The book also supports decision-making, strategies, and policy formulation for effective implementation of sustainable...
Plant Secondary Metabolites and Abiotic Stress
This book provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge biotechnological approaches for enhancing plant secondary metabolites to address abiotic stress, offering valuable insights into the future of utilizing plants for medicinal and industrial purposes. Various books on plant secondary metabolites are available, however, no book has an overview of the recent trends and future prospects of all the methods available to enhance the contents of the plant secondary metabolites. Plant Secondary Metabolites and Abiotic Stress aims to give an overview of all the available strategies to ameliorate abiotic stress in plants by modulating secondary metabolites using biotechnological approaches including plant tissue cultures, synthetic metabolic pathway engineering, targeted gene silencing, and editing using RNAi and CRISPR CAS9 technologies.
Smart Agritech
Agriculture has always been a vital sector of the global economy, providing food and raw materials for industries and households. However, with the growing population, changing climate conditions, and limited resources, the agriculture sector is facing numerous challenges. To address these challenges, farmers and agricultural companies are turning to advanced technologies such as Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT). This exciting new volume provides a comprehensive overview of the latest technological advances in agriculture, focusing on the use of these three cutting-edge technologies. The book will explore the potential benefits of these technologies in improving agricultural efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. Whether for the veteran engineer, scientist in the lab, student, or faculty, this groundbreaking new volume is a valuable resource for researchers and other industry professionals interested in the intersection of technology and agriculture.
