Adaptive Phytoremediation Practices (eBook, ePUB)

Resilience to Climate Change

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Adaptive Phytoremediation Practices: Resilience to Climate Change discusses current phytoremediation practices under an ever-pressing need for environmental remediation due to increasing pollution in a changing climate. Phytoremediation is increasingly relevant due to plants' high effectiveness and sustainability during remediation and the ability of potential phytoremediation plants to adapt to changes in climate. Changing climatic conditions cause various biotic and abiotic stresses in plants and thereby negatively affect a plant's establishment, growth, and yield. Therefore, the integration of suitable climate-resilient plants and adaptive remedial practices along with proper agro-biotechnological interventions is of paramount importance to mitigate the rapidly growing pollution.

This book is an important reference for environmental scientists, particularly those working in pollution management and remediation, forming an up-to-date collection of phytoremediation practices that provide sustainable solutions as a holistic approach for carrying out phytoremediation under changing climatic conditions.

• Provides up-to-date research and understanding on how to design, refine, and implement adaptive phytoremediation practices
• Focuses on enhancing resilience in plants toward climate change and explanations of the characteristics of resilient plants for adaptive phytoremediation practices in a changing climate
• Presents methods and solutions for adapting phytoremediation practices to climate change

Autorenporträt

Dr. Gordana Gajic is Senior Research Associate in the Department of Ecology, Institute for Biological Research "SiniSa Stankovic, National Institute of Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, Serbia. Her research areas are phytoremediation, ecorestoration, plant ecophysiology, and biochemistry. Dr. Gajic has published more than 30 research papers in reputed journals and contributed five book chapters.Dr. Pallavi Sharma is Professor at the School of Environment and Sustainable Development, Central University of Gujarat, India. Dr. Sharma is currently engaged in work on the mechanisms of abiotic stress tolerance in plants. She has published 50 scientific articles/book chapters in peer-reviewed journals/books with more than 7,600 citations.Dr. Madhumita Roy is a DST Women Scientist at the Bose Institute in Kolkata, where she is the Principal Investigator. Her previous work experience includes a postdoctoral fellowship at CSIR-IICB (2012-2013) and teaching at Techno India University's Biotechnology Department as an assistant professor (2014-2018). Jadavpur University awarded her a Ph.D. in Microbiology, North Bengal University a master's degree in Biotechnology, and Calcutta University a bachelor's degree in Zoology. She has ten years of expertise (excluding PhD study) in the field of microbiology, specializing in Molecular Microbiology and Environmental Microbiology. Dr. Roy served as Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator on two research projects, mentored five research scholars to doctoral degrees, and published 18 articles in SCI journals, 10 conference proceedings, and eight book chapters. Her research goal is to use bioprospecting to find bacteria that can be used for environmental cleanup or to improve human life by screening and isolating novel antimicrobials that can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria (biopharmaceutical application)Dr. Vimal Chandra Pandey is an applied research scientist of phyto- and phycoremediation at Chandigarh University, India. He obtained his PhD from Dr. RML Avadh University and conducted post-doctoral research at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, India. Dr. Pandey's research focuses on the remediation and management of polluted sites using ecologically and socio-economically valuable plants and algae. His work focuses strongly on restoring ecosystem services and developing a bio-based economy in support of the UN SDGs. Dr. Pandey is a member of the IUCN commission on Ecosystem Management and the National Academy of Sciences, India. He is the author and editor of several books, including Elsevier's Algae and Aquatic Macrophytes in Cities, Bioremediation of Pollutants, and more.
