Magnitude and quality of life as well as sustainable human progress inescapably depend on the state of our environment. The environment, in essence, is a common resource of all the living organisms in the biosphere as well as a vivacious basis of the evolution of life on Earth. A sustainable future broods over a sustainable environment—an environment encompassing life-originating, life-supporting, and life-sustaining uniqueness. A deteriorating environment haplessly sets in appalling conditions leading to shrinkage of life and a halt in human progress. The current global environment scenario is extremely dismal. Environmental disruptions, largely owing to anthropogenic activities, are steadily leading to awful climate change. Horribly advancing toward mass extinction in the near or distant future and posing a threat to our Living Planet, the unabatedly ongoing climate change, in fact, is an unprecedented issue of human concern about life in the recorded human history.How to get rid of the environmental mess and resolve environmental issues leading to climate change mitigation is the foremost challenge facing humanity in our times. There are several measures the whole world is resorting to. They are primarily focused on cutting down excessive carbon emissions by means of development of technological alternatives, for example, increasing mechanical efficiencies and ever-more dependence on clean-energy sources. These are of great importance, but there is yet a natural phenomenon that has been, and will unceasingly be, pivotal to maintain climate order of the Earth. For it to phenomenally boost, we need to explore deeper aspects of environmental science. It is the environmental plant physiology that links us with deeper roots of life.Environmental Plant Physiology: Botanical Strategies for a Climate-Smart Planet attempts to assimilate a relatively new subject that helps us understand the very phenomenon of life that persists in the planet’s environment and depends on, and is influenced by, a specific set of operating environmental factors. It is the subject that helps us understand adaptation mechanisms within a variety of habitats as well as the implications of the alterations of environmental factors on the inhabiting organisms, their populations, and communities. Further, this book can also be of vital importance for policy makers and organizations dealing with climate-related issues and committed to the cause of the earth. This book can be instrumental in formulating strategies that can lead us to a climate-smart planet.Features:• Provides ecological basis of environmental plant physiology• Discusses energy, nutrient, water, temperature, allelochemical, and altitude relations of plants• Reviews stress physiology of plants and plants’ adaptations to the changing climate• Examines climate-change effects on plant physiology• Elucidates evolving botanical strategies for a climate-smart planet

The rich variety of life on Earth is a breathtaking culmination of natural evolution, with all natural ecosystems and cultivated lands teeming with biodiversity. This diverse array of flora and fauna is essential for a healthy, vibrant, and sustainable biosphere. The book Biodiversity: Concepts, Crises and Conservation is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the subject, written by a renowned academician, expert, and celebrated author. It covers all aspects of biological diversity, from conception to recognition, discovery, and practical conservation for future generations. The book is structured to provide mental agility exercises for students across multiple disciplines, including life sciences, biological sciences, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, geography, and natural resource management. It is also a useful resource for planners, policy-makers, environmental activists, government, and non-government organizations. The book delves into emerging concepts, ongoing crises, and potential conservation tactics of biodiversity, and it is composed in a textbook style that is both enriching and innovation-disrupting. It presents magnificent scenarios of agrobiodiversity, pedo-biodiversity, and biodiversity in chemosynthesis-based communities, as well as examining biodiversity-climate links and discussing the vital biodiversity-sustainability relationships. The book elucidates biodiversity-based sustainability principles and provides operationalization techniques. The book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand and conserve the rich diversity of life on Earth.
