Environmental Science/Climate Change & Mitigation
Reviews “An impressive collection of research and knowledge, focusing on the molecular approach to unraveling the complexities of the relationship between climate change and biotic factors. The contributors, experts in their respective fields, explore the fundamental molecular mechanisms that govern the responses of organisms to changing climatic conditions and the subsequent interactions with biotic stresses such as pests, diseases, and invasive species. By adopting a molecular lens, this book goes beyond traditional ecological approaches, delving into the intricate workings of genes, proteins, and signaling pathways that dictate the responses of organisms to climate change and biotic factors. It offers a comprehensive exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying organisms’ adaptation, resistance, and resilience in the face of shifting environmental condition.” —From Foreword by R. L. Ravikumar, Emeritus Scientist, Department of Plant Biotechnology, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore, India Climate change has more impact on the world than just rising temperatures and extreme weather events. It also impacts the intricate interactions between organisms, including pests, pathogens, and other biotic factors, which are critical components of the balance maintained in nature. This new book, Climate Change and Biotic Factors: A Molecular Approach, delves into the intricate relationship between climate change and the interplay of biotic factors, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions.
