Offers a critical and realistic reassessment of the threats posed to the environment in the Middle East, and what can be done about them.
Climate change, characterized by amplified frequency and amplitude of heat waves, increased evaporative demand and altered precipitation patterns, threatening the productivity and stability of ecosystems worldwide. Previous research identified a number of abiotic and biotic stressors that affects plant physiology and contributes to natural ecosystems decline, as well as crop yield failure. Depending on their intensity and duration, plant species may display a wide range of strategies and mechanisms to withstand environmental stress, including physiological and biochemical responses, as well as modulation in structural characteristics such as anatomy and morphology. However, despite the great...
This book presents advanced knowledge and techniques to improve food quality, such as organic farming, fertilization using waste, reducing arsenic in food, soil restoration, forage production in arid regions and weed control. Agriculture is actually facing two major challenges, feeding an ever-growing population and providing safe food in the context of pollution, climate change and the future circular economy.
This advanced textbook is about Middle Eastern plants and plant ecology, presented within the wider context of the changing landscape, global climate change, and human history (particularly in relation to agriculture, conflict, and religion).

This book explores the significance of soil microbial diversity to understand its utility in soil functions, ecosystem services, environmental sustainability, and achieving the sustainable development goals. With a focus on agriculture and environment, the book highlights the importance of the microbial world by providing state-of-the-art technologies for examining the structural and functional attributes of soil microbial diversity for applications in healthcare, industrial biotechnology, and bioremediation studies. In seven chapters, the book will act as a primer for students, environmental biotechnologists, microbial ecologists, plant scientists, and agricultural microbiologists. Chapter 1 introduces readers to the soil microbiome, and chapter 2 discusses the below ground microbial world. Chapter 3 addresses various methods for exploring microbial diversity, chapter 4 discusses the genomics methods, chapter 5 provides the metaproteomics and metatranscriptomics approaches and chapter 6 details the bioinformatics tools for soil microbial community analysis, and chapter 7 concludes the text with future perspectives on further soil microbial uses and applications.
