Advances in microbial technologies are explored in chapters dealing with topics such as carbon sequestration, soil fertility management, sustainable crop production, and microbial signaling networks. Volume I is a collection of research findings that invites readers to examine the application of microbes in reinstating degraded ecosystems and also in establishing sustainable croplands. Highly readable entries attempt to close the knowledge gap between soil microbial associations and sustainable agriculture. An increase in the global population with changing climate is leading to environments of various abiotic and biotic stresses for agricultural crops. It therefore becomes important to identify the techniques to improve soil fertility and function using different microbial groups such as actinobacteria, microalgae, fluorescent pseudomonads and cyanobacterial systems. These are examined in this volume in greater detail. This work is a significant contribution to research in this increasingly important discipline, and will appeal to researchers in microbiology, agriculture, environmental sciences, and soil and crop sciences. .Soil scienceSoil conservationAgricultureMicrobial ecologyEcosystemsEnvironmental chemistrySustainable developmentSoil Science & Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000Agriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Microbial Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082Ecosystemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904XEnvironmental Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U15000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Soil science.Soil conservation.Agriculture.Microbial ecology.Ecosystems.Environmental chemistry.Sustainable development.Soil Science & Conservation.Agriculture.Microbial Ecology.Ecosystems.Environmental Chemistry.Sustainable Development.631.4Singh Jay Shankaredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSeneviratne Gaminiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910164981303321Agro-Environmental Sustainability2530689UNINA
