In a fast changing world wherein anthropogenic climate change, biological invasions, deforestation, deserti?cation, and frequent droughts have become routine hard realities, the contents of this book urge readers to rethink basic notions of setting and accomplishing objectives in mycorrhizal research to make sense vis-ą-vis contemporary challenges. In this book, a global perspective of mycorrhizal diversity and distribution is provided, followed by some insights into the impact of various global change elements such as climate change, plant invasion, and extreme environmental conditions on mycorrhizas and the role of these mutualists in turn to help their host plants to withstand such novel selection pressures. Special attention here is given to the interesting, but largely neglected, topics such as the role of mycorrhizas in ecological restoration of degraded environments and mycorrhizal status of aquatic plants. The basic idea is to unify various topical areas in mycorrhizal science in an integrated framework. This book can be used by the undergraduate and graduate level students studying mycorrhizal symbioses in the context of current ecological applications. The materials in this book will bene?t biological scientists actively involved in research on mycorrhizal ecology and global environmental change. Besides, the contents of the book could be of special interest to restoration ecologists and biodiversity managers. 606 $aPlant science 606 $aBotany 606 $aEcology  606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aPlant Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24000 606 $aEcology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007 606 $aPlant Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19112 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 615 0$aPlant science. 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 14$aPlant Sciences. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 676 $a577 676 $a579.5/1785 700 $aShah$b Manzoor Ahmad$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058523 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298323303321 996 $aMycorrhizas: Novel Dimensions in the Changing World$92500526 997 $aUNINA
