Microbial Based Land Restoration Handbook, Volume 1
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-0-367-70226-7 (ISBN)
Plant-microbe interaction is a powerful and promising link to mitigate the various kinds of stresses like drought, salinity, heavy metals, and pathogenic effects. It is more beneficial for crop improvement and sustainable approaches for reclamation of problematic soils. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this book explores the recent uses of plant-microbe interactions in ecological and agricultural revitalization beyond normal agriculture practices and offers practical and applied solutions for the restoration of degraded land to fulfill human needs with food, fodder, fuel, and fiber. It provides a single comprehensive platform for soil scientists, agriculture specialists, ecologists, and those in related disciplines.
Features
• Presents cutting-edge microbial biotechnology as a tool for restoring degraded lands
• Explores the aspects of sustainable development of degraded lands using microbe-inspired land remediation
• Highlights sustainable food production intensification in nutrient-poor lands through the innovative use of microbial inoculants
• Explains the remediation of polluted land for regaining biodiversity and achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
• Includes many real-life applications from South Asia offering solutions to today’s agricultural problems
This book will be of interest to professionals, researchers, and students in environmental, soil, and agricultural sciences, as well as stakeholders, policy makers, and practitioners with an interest in this field.
