Plants in tropical regions are coping with enormous challenges of physiological stresses owing to changing environmental and climatic conditions. Rapid growth of human population and rampant exploitation of fossil fuels and other developmental activities are actively contributing to such perturbations. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has projected a sustained increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and thereby a rise in global temperature in the coming decades. The resultant changes in precipitation patterns are now evident across the globe due to intensication of hydrological cycle. Moreover, gaseous and particulate pollutants are also an immense challenge for tropical plants. Such vagaries in environmental conditions have signicant impacts on the ecophysiological traits of plants, resulting from altered interactions of tropical plants with each other, as well as other biotic and abiotic components within the ecosystem. Books available in the market that particularly focus on ecophysiological responses of tropical plants to abiotic and biotic environmental factors under climate change are limited. This book intends to fill this knowledge gap and provides a detailed analysis on ecophysiological responses of tropical plants to these environmental challenges, as well as suggesting some approachable measures for plant adaptations to these challenges. The book is equally applicable to undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, teachers and forest managers, and policy makers.Salient features of the book are:A comprehensive discussion on adaptive mechanisms of plants through their ecophysiological responses to various biotic and abiotic stressesElaboration on the recent techniques involved in ecophysiological researchA detailed account of evolutionary responses of plants to changing climateDiscussion of recent research results and some pointers to future advancements in ecophysiological researchPresentation of information in a way that is accessible for students, researchers, and teachers practicing in plant physiology and ecology.

In the present context, intensive and unregulated exploitation of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) has significantly compromised their conservation status, posing serious risks to their long-term sustainable availability. Consequently, the development and implementation of effective and adaptive conservation strategies have become critically important, particularly as emerging challenges such as climate change and biological invasions further exacerbate pressures on MAP populations.Conservation Strategies for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) in Asia: Current Scenario and Future Perspectives present a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of existing conservation approaches for MAPs across Asia. It integrates traditional and indigenous knowledge with modern scientific frameworks to assess the conservation status of MAPs and to design region-specific, evidence-based strategies. The volume addresses emerging challenges such as climate change, habitat degradation, overharvesting, and biological invasions, while offering up-to-date insights into disease management, sustainable harvesting, cultivation, and ex situ and in situ conservation techniques.Salient features:Highlights the rich indigenous and traditional knowledge systems associated with medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) across Asian countries.Presents standardized criteria for assessing the conservation status of MAPs to support the formulation of targeted and effective conservation strategies.Provides up-to-date insights into disease management, propagation methods, and conservation techniques for MAPs.Showcases successful conservation case studies from various regions of Asia, illustrating practical and evidence-based conservation practices.Offers critical policy perspectives and strategic recommendations to support the conservation, sustainable use, and governance of medicinal and aromatic plantsThis book is a valuable reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students, research scholars, teachers, and early-career researchers working in ethnobotany, ethnomedicine, Ayurveda, and medicinal and aromatic plants. It is also relevant for scientists, conservationists, policymakers, resource managers, NGOs, industry professionals, and government agencies involved in the conservation, restoration, and sustainable utilization of MAPs across Asia.

This book provides an in-depth insight into the ecological perspective on a number of ongoing issues pertaining to security, the economy, the state, global environmental governance, development, and the environment. The chapters critically compare and analyze the role of global eco-politics in understanding and sorting out issues linked with climate change. Furthermore, it presents a contemporary and accessible description of why we need to embrace eco-politics in order to address the various ecological challenges that we face in the current changing climate scenario.
