Terrestrial plant systems are an integral part of Earth's land resources. Resources are mutually connected via the nutrient exchange phenomena. Thus, plant nutrition is crucial in managing soil fertility and land productivity. Soil organic carbon is one of the critical indicators for assessing the viability of land, and hence soil carbon sequestration, which is a burgeoning issue regarding changing climatic conditions.
In this context, this book provides an essential linkage between sustainable plant nutrition and soil carbon sequestration and their management strategies that lead to multidimensional benefits for environmental sustainability. The primary purpose of this book is to explore the nexus between carbon sequestration and plant growth, its role in maintaining ecosystem services, and modeling aspects of soil carbon and nutrient dynamics. Moreover, it aims to address the growing challenges of ecological perturbations, unraveling the potential of degraded lands for food, fuel, and nutritional security, and accounting for meeting various UN SDGs.
Dr. Sheikh Adil Edrisi is an Assistant Professor at the Thapar School of Liberal Arts and Sciences at TIET, Patiala, India. He earned his MPhil and PhD from Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, India. He is researching to restore degraded lands for multipurpose environmental benefits; exploring the role of GIS to assess land productivity; bioremediation of contaminated and degraded lands for efficient bioenergy production; biodiversity conservation and restoration by developing an apposite policy framework for attaining key UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). He has received the 2021 Early Career Start-up Research Grant from SERB, Govt. of India, the 2019 Green Talents Award from the BMBF in Germany, and the NASI-Springer Award (2018) from NASI, India. Additionally, he holds editorial roles in reputed journals in the area of land degradation, restoration, and sustainable production such as Energy, Ecology and Environment, Anthropocene Science (Springer), Restoration Ecology, Land Degradation and Development (Wiley), and PLoS-One (PLoS). Dr. Adil is also the 'initial member' of Global Soil Biodiversity Initiatives and is currently an active IUCN-CEM, CEESP, and CEC commission member to resolve pressing global challenges of land restoration and sustainable development.
Dr. Pradeep Kumar Dubey is Program Manager within Sustainable Landscape and Restoration program at World Resource Institute India (WRI India). His primary area of expertise lies in agroecosystem management following bottom-up approach, and currently focus on landscape restoration in Maharashtra, India. Pradeep holds MSc-PhD degree in Environmental Science from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. He has undertaken substantial agricultural surveys and field level experimental validation, proposing various ecological solutions for agri-environmental sustainability, land-soil management within the Vindhyan dryland and Gangetic Plain in eastern UP, India. Dr. Dubey is selected IPBES fellow for Nexus assessment, fellow of the Society for Plant Research in India, recipient of the IUCN CEM Agroecosystems Special Recognition Award and Young Scientists Award from the Society for Science of Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability. He serves as member for IUCN commissions (CEM, CEC, CEESP), Global Land Program (GLP), Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative (GSBI), and is invited as resource person, expert, or speaker in various state, national and international forums. He published research, reviews, opinions, editorial pieces, book chapters, and a lead-authored book. He has been actively involved in editorial and reviewer roles for esteemed international journals.
