The ongoing global climate change triggered by greenhouse gas growth has had a significant effect on microbial dynamics of plants and soils. Soil microbiologists play a vital role in the issue of global warming, not only concerning carbon dioxide but also in relation to nitrous oxide and particularly methane. This volume, Climate Change and Microbial Diversity: Advances and Challenges, explores the various microbial responses of plants and soils caused directly or indirectly by climate change resulting from rising greenhouse gases and other factors.

This volume considers the rapidly changing environment and the important role of microbiomes in restoring soil and plant health and in creating sustainable approaches. The book discusses the adaptation and mitigations of plants and soils, specifically addressing such topics as biogeochemical processes, antimicrobial resistance, the dynamics of bacteria and fungus in extreme environments, bacterial siderophores for sustainability, and more.

The volume also looks at edaphic and regeneration performance of tree species in the temperate forests. This book will be beneficial to undergraduate and postgraduate students of plant microbiology, agricultural sciences, biotechnology, climate science, and environmental microbiology as well as to faculty, researchers, scientists, environmental policymakers, and others.
