Microbiological Advancements for Higher Altitude Agro-Ecosystems & Sustainability: Rhizosphere Biology
Editat de Reeta Goel, Ravindra Soni, Deep Chandra Suyalen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mar 2020
The book explores the challenges and opportunities associated with high-altitude agro-ecosystems and the factors that influence them. It discusses the various indigenous agricultural practices and approaches, as well as the microbiology of mountain & hill agro-ecosystems, providing a comprehensive overview of the various factors that control the microbiome at high altitudes.
The contributions examine microbiological advances, such as use of “omics” technologies for hill agriculture and environmental sustainability, and explore the use of nanotechnology for agricultural and environmental sustainability at higher altitudes. The book also describes various aspects of low-temperature microbiology in the context of high-altitude farming and environmental sustainability.
