Role of Microbes in Ecosystem Processes and Environmental Management

Role of Microbes in Ecosystem Processes and Environmental Management aims to explore microbial ecology and its impact on ecosystem processes as well as highlight the latest advancements in the application of microbes in environmental management and other industries. The book provides an overview of microbes in their natural environments, highlighting their role in soil health, carbon cycling, waste degradation, and plant-microbe interactions. It discusses the influence of microbes on weathering, erosion, and climate change, as well as their crucial role in ecosystem regulation and the restoration of degraded ecosystems. The book also focuses on the utilization of microbes in environmental management strategies as biocontrol agents and biological indicators of pollution and water quality. It also explores the practical applications of microbes in environmental bioremediation and for advanced microbial technologies in agriculture practices, food industries, energy production, mining, and healthcare. Role of Microbes in Ecosystem Processes and Environmental Management is a comprehensive resource for researchers, faculty, postgraduate students, and industry professionals with a keen interest in microbial ecology and microbial-based product development.
