Sustainable Agriculture: Advances in Plant Metabolome and Microbiome focuses on the advancement of basic and applied research related to plant-microbe interaction and their implementation in progressive agricultural sustainability. The book also highlights the developing area of bioinformatics tools for the interpretation of metabolome, the integration of statistical and bioinformatics tools to manage huge generating data, metabolite profiling, and key signaling-driven substances, along with a section on the role of key biosynthetic pathways. Focused on selecting positive and effective interactive core-microbiome which will be adaptive and sustainable, this book will help researchers further improve the quality and productivity of crops through sustainable agriculture.

The book provides an overview relevant to various biological mechanisms that regulate carbon exchanges between the major components and their response to climate change.   Climate change has a significant impact on people''s lives, energy demand, food security, etc. The soil microbial ecology is vital for assessing terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles and climate feedback. However, the primary concern is the complexity of the soil microbial community and its severely affected functions due to the climate and other global changes. Global warming comprises an assessment of the dynamic interactions and feedback between microbes, plants, and their physical environment due to climate change. The book will address the need to use a multifactor experimental approach to understand how soil microorganisms and their activities adapt to climate change and the implications of carbon cycle feedback. The most pressing concern is a clearer understanding of the biological factors that regulate carbon exchanges between land, oceans, and the atmosphere and how these exchanges will respond to climate change via climate–ecosystem feedbacks, which could augment or quell regional and global climate change. Terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in climate feedback as they produce and absorb greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides. They also strongly contribute to storing enormous amounts of carbon in living vegetation and soils, rendering them a significant global carbon sink. If climate change projections are realistic, such a rapid increase in carbon loss from soil could exacerbate the soil carbon cycle feedback. The book will determine the role of microbial feedback in regulating soil-land-atmosphere carbon exchange under changing climatic conditions at the regional and global levels. The current book will also focus on recent research designed to use beneficial microbes such as plant growth-promoting microorganisms, fungi, endophytic microbes, and others to improve understanding of the interaction and their potential role in promoting advanced management for sustainable agricultural solutions. Understanding the influence on the native microbiome, such as the distribution of methanogens and methanotrophs, nutritional content, microbial biomass, and other factors, is becoming increasingly crucial to establishing climate-resilient agriculture. 

This book focuses on the latest research in soil and microbiome, evaluating new and emerging innovations. Recent research has connected specific microbial taxa to plant productivity, and it is now possible to link changes in microbiome structure to the functioning of plants or crops due to advanced approaches.

The book concludes with a chapter devoted to smart management solutions, providing a glimpse into future trends and perspectives in the field.

Given its breadth and coverage, the book appeals not only to academics and researchers in the fields of environmental chemistry and environmental sciences but also to professionals and policymakers dealing with microplastic pollution and research.

Enzymes can help break down plastic waste and make it less harmful to the environment. They can also be used to treat various types of waste, including agricultural and food waste, and wastewater. Enzyme engineering is an important part of chemical biotechnology and helps to keep the environment clean. Making clean and renewable fuels is a priority, and many strategies are being developed to achieve this goal. However, food waste is still a major problem that can harm the environment because most disposal methods are not eco-friendly. This volume aims to inform readers about the latest developments in the use of enzymes for environmental management. This comprehensive resource provides a detailed overview of how enzymes can be used in various sectors to promote ecological sustainability. It covers the composition, properties, characterization, chemistry, and applications of different enzymes in emerging and eco-friendly approaches to waste treatment. It also highlights the latest advancements in sustainable technology and biotechnology enzymes. The book is divided into sections that feature various enzymes used for treating resistant pollutants in wastewater, enzymatically degrading synthetic plastics, and engineering enzymes to impact environmental sustainability positively. It also covers enzymes used in the valorization of waste, enzyme technology in biofuel production, and the recovery of enzymes from food waste. Each chapter presents the enzymes'' chemical, physical, and biological attributes and reviews the recent research conducted in this emerging field. The authors hope this document will inspire scientists to explore novel chemical, material, and energy sources in the future and to continue developing innovative applications for enzymes in environmental management.

This unique reference book represents sustainable development of UN for providing a proper life standard and mobility for people.
