Of the world’s seven continents, Asia is the largest. Its physical landscapes, political units, and ethnic groups are both wide-ranging and many.  Southwest, South and Middle Asia are highly populated regions which, as a whole, cover an extremely large area of varied geography. In total, this domain is unique in its plant diversity and large vegetation zones with different communities and biomes. It is rich in endemics, with specific and intraspecific diversity of fruit trees and medicinal plants, including a number of rare, high value, species. At the same time, much of the land in the region is too dry or too rugged, with many geographical extremes. Overgrazing, oil and mineral extraction, and poaching are the major threats in the area.This two-volume project focuses on the dynamic biodiversity of the region with in-depth analysis on phytosociology, plants, animals and agroecology.  There are also chapters that explore new applications as well as approachesto overcome problems associated with climate change. Much of the research and analysis are presented here for the first time.  We believe this work is a valuable resource for professionals and researchers working in the fields of plant diversity and vegetation, animal diversity and animal populations, and geo-diversity and sustainable land use, among others.The first volume guides our readers to West Asia and the Caucasus region, while volume two focuses on issues unique to South and Middle Asia.

This comprehensive exploration delves into the pivotal role of bacteria in soil health, elucidating their mechanisms in organic matter decomposition, metal facilitation, bioremediation of stubborn materials, and nutrient cycling essential for soil fertilization, plant health and conditioning. In an agricultural ecosystem, soil nutrients are the backbone, sourced either externally through fertilizers or internally by the action of soil bacteria. Understanding the intricate concert of soil bacteria within the ecological framework offers three significant advantages: revitalizing soil health and quality (soil reclamation), enhancing soil nutrient availability (biofertilization), and amplifying crop yields in an environmentally sustainable manner (sustainable agriculture).This book caters to a diverse audience including educators, researchers, technocrats, policymakers, agricultural foundations, non-governmental organizations, and particularly research students. It also serves as supplementary material for undergraduate and graduate students across various disciplines such as agriculture, microbiology, biotechnology, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences. Additionally, it provides invaluable insights for both national and international agricultural scientists and soil ecologists, enriching their understanding of soil ecosystems and agricultural sustainability.
