Microorganisms Resilience to Climate Change (eBook, PDF)

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers a wide range of topics such as role of microorganisms in the global carbon cycle, the impact of climate change on microbial communities, and the feedback mechanism between them. Microorganisms produce and consume greenhouse gases to transform essential elements, such as carbon and nitrogen, to form their cellular components. Microorganisms are also involved in nitrogen and phosphorus cycling, which are essential for plant growth and productivity. Thus, the role of microbial communities in agroecosystems with biogeochemical cycles is imperative for addressing the current global warming situation.

Microorganisms are highly sensitive to changes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, and nutrient availability. As the climate continues to change, shifts in microbial community structure and function may have significant consequences for ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, water purification, and carbon sequestration.

In this book experts from a range of fields, such as microbiology, ecology, biogeochemistry, and climate science come together to provide a holistic perspective on the role of microorganisms in climate change. This book is of reference to policymakers, educators, researchers and students working in the field of microbiology and climate sciences.
