Advances in Soil Microbiology: Recent Trends and Future Prospects
This book presents a comprehensive collection of articles illustrating the importance of microbial community structure and function for ecosystem sustainability and environmental reclamation. It addresses a diverse range of topics, including microbial diversity, physiology, genomics, ecosystem function, interaction, metabolism, and the fruitful use of microbial communities for crop productivity and environmental remediation. In addition, the book explores issues ranging from general concepts on the diversity of microorganisms in soil, and ecosystem function, to the evolution and taxonomy of soil microbiota, with future prospects. It covers cutting-edge methods in soil microbial ecological st...
Regenerative Agriculture
This book aims to focus on the current state of knowledge and scientific advances about the complex and intertwined issues of regenerative farming as a transformative solution for offsetting the disastrous climate effects of burning fossil fuels and impairments of natural resource bases. Regenerative agriculture advocates no-till practices, planting cover crops, integrating livestock and crop production, improving animal welfare practices, improving the social and economic well-being of communities, sequestering carbon, improving soil health, and increasing yields and profit with a positive impact on food access or food safety regardless of farm size. This book examines the innovations that will equip agriculture to cope with the competing challenges of addressing food and nutrition security, improving livelihoods, combatting climate change, and sustainably managing natural resources. The scope of this book extends to agricultural scientists, students, consultants, site owners, industrial stakeholders, regulators, and policymakers.
Biogas Technology
Biogas is a renewable energy resource that can be an alternative solution for the world's insatiable energy demands while helping in managing waste and reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is also regarded as carbon neutral as the carbon in biogas comes from organic matter (feedstock) that captured this carbon from atmospheric CO2 over a relatively short timescale. This book has been written and compiled to collate latest information on biogas technology to help readers, researchers and extension workers alike to understand the fruitful exploitation of the process. It has fourteen chapters, primarily in three major categories: 01. the first category dealing with the basic biometha...
Plant-Microbe-Insect Interactions in Ecosystem Management and Agricultural Praxis
Nature’s high biomass productivity is based on biological N2 fixation (BNF) and biodiversity (Benckiser, 1997; Benckiser and Schnell, 2007). Although N2 makes up almost 80% of the atmosphere’s volume living organisms need it in only small quantities, presumably due to the paucity of natural ways of transforming this recalcitrant dinitrogen into reactive compounds. N shortage is commonly the most important limiting factor in crop production. The synthesis of ammonium from nitrogen and hydrogen, the Haber–Bosch (H-B) process, invented more than 100 years ago, became the holy grail of synthetic inorganic chemistry and removed the most ubiquitous limit on crop yields. H-B opened the way fo...
Heavy Metal(loid) Stress-alleviating and Phytostimulating Microorganisms: Dual-performing Warhorses in Soil-bioremediation
The omnipresence of diverse microorganisms in the environment is valuable in many ways. Their presence in the vicinity of plants benefits as a result of positive plant-microbe interaction. Phytostimulating microorganisms or plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) are a certain group of microbes that includes rhizobacteria, endophytes, actinomycetes, fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, etc. They are colonized in different parts of plants (as endophytes) or the close contact outside the plants’ root-surface (rhizosphere and rhizoplane) attracted by certain plant exudates or secondary metabolites for nutrition. In return, PGPMs directly or indirectly assist their host plants by secreting plant growth-promoting substances, increase nutrient bioavailability of insoluble or less-soluble compounds in soils, and also confronts invading phytopathogens. A major group of these microorganisms takes an active part in soil metal bioremediation, an essential concern in the current scenario for the reclamation of metal-contaminated agricultural fields.
