Soil is a complex system of inorganic and organic materials, living organisms, water, and air. It is home to more than one trillion species of microorganisms. Soil also plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Because plants absorb carbon from the atmosphere, convert it to plant tissue, and return it to the soil as plant residue, soils globally act as the world’s largest sink of active carbon. Soil has role to play in food production and safety. Soil contamination undermined by modern agricultural practices that deplete soil carbon stocks. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have been raising recorded temperatures since the Industrial Revolution. Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, forestry, and fisheries have almost doubled in the last 50 years and will increase by 30% by 2050 given the current trend. The primacy of arresting climate change is nowhere more evident than the adoption of 195 countries of the first legally binding global climate deal at the Paris Climate Conference in 2015. With atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) reaching 400 parts per million in 2016, soils can be an ally in bringing the CO2 level down to a sustainable level if protected for regeneration.  Soil protection and regeneration is a technique that involves the conservative rehabilitation of soil ecosystem and farmland. This technique focuses on top soil regeneration, improving the water cycle, supporting biosequestration, enhancing ecosystem services, increasing biodiversity, strengthening the vitality and health of farm soil, and increasing resilience to climate change and landscape. Environmental protection not only improves soil health, productivity, and resilience to weather extremes, raising farm yields and income while strengthening regional food security in the face of a changing climate, but can also form part of a region’s broader climate strategy. This book is timely as more studies and reviews need to be reported about regenerating global polluted soil and the impacts on the environment, the benefit of both biotic and abiotic structure, thereby creating more awareness of environmental protection and sustainability. Thus, this book presents a vista to research on regeneration of lost resources in the soil and its impacts on the environment.

This book originates from a recognition of the urgent necessity to unravel the intricate connections between pesticides and the evolving climate. By focusing on environmental dynamics, the book extensively discusses how pesticides and climate change intersect, providing a comprehensive exploration of their combined effects on ecosystems. Each chapter of the book meticulously analyzes various aspects of the interplay. Ranging from the methods of pesticide dispersion to their durability and subsequent ecological consequences, the authors offer a holistic examination of the challenges posed by the convergence of pesticides and climate change. One of the primary aims of this book is to bridge existing knowledge gaps pertaining to the environmental dynamics of pesticides in the context of a changing climate. The comprehensive insights provided within its pages serve as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners alike. The objective is not only to identify the challenges inherent in this interplay, but also to present practical solutions that contribute to the development of sustainable practices. By addressing critical issues and offering a forward-looking perspective, the book strives to pave the way for informed decision-making and the implementation of effective strategies to mitigate the environmental challenges arising from the interplay of pesticides and climate change.

The diversity of wetland bio resources is crucial for addressing global challenges they face. Despite being vital for biodiversity, water quality and flood control, wetlands suffer from human-induced degradation. This compendium addresses conservation, policy, and technological strategies to safeguard wetlands. Climate change exacerbates threats, emphasizing the need for adaptation and mitigation measures. Recognizing wetlands'' societal values, the book advocates for balanced conservation and utilization. Wetlands offer opportunities in agriculture, industry, and medicine. Their role in urban water management and biodiversity conservation is explored. The publication examines wetland fauna, their habitats, and ecological roles. Resource competition shapes wetland ecosystems'' resilience and productivity. It serves as a comprehensive guide for conservation and restoration efforts, highlighting wetlands'' diverse applications and their importance in addressing societal challenges. By doing so, it aids informed decision-making and fosters effective conservation actions.
