Climate Change: Impact of Elevated CO2 and Temperature on Crops, Weeds and Soil Microbes is a comprehensive and timely volume that explores the profound effects of climate change, specifically elevated CO2 and temperature on plant physiology, crop productivity, weed dynamics, and soil microbial interactions. The primary objective of this book is to provide a detailed and up-to-date overview of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms governing crop responses to elevated CO2 and temperature. It also examines the impact on weeds and soil microbial communities, highlighting potential adaptation and mitigation strategies for sustainable agriculture. Readers will gain valuable insights into the latest methodologies and scientific advancements in this field.
This volume offers in-depth coverage of key topics, including:
Impact of elevated CO2 and temperature on the physiology, yield, and quality of major crops
Responses of cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and vegetables to elevated CO2 and temperature
Nutritional and quality changes in food crops under climate change scenarios
Growth dynamics and physiological responses of weeds under elevated CO2 and temperature
Role of soil microbes in plant health and ecosystem stability in changing climates
Influence of elevated CO2 and temperature on key metabolic pathways, including photosynthesis, transpiration, redox metabolism, carbon metabolism, and nitrogen metabolism
Adaptive mechanisms in crops, including osmo-protectant accumulation, phytohormonal regulation, and mitigation strategies for climate resilience
As a significant contribution to climate change and plant science research, this book serves as an essential resource for plant physiologists, agronomists, environmental scientists, soil microbiologists, geneticists, and students. It is a valuable reference for researchers and professionals working on climate adaptation strategies in agriculture and can also be used in coursework for graduate and postgraduate studies.
