This book covers the contemporary environmental issues faced by life on
the planet and the role planetary microbiomes play in such issues.
Providing insights on the net favorable and adverse effect of microbial
processes, this volume covers both the spontaneous and anthropocentric
events that impact climate change and life on the planet.
The book describes the ecological significance of microbiomes associated
with the kingdoms Plantae and Animalia with respect to climate change,
natural and anthropogenic causes of climate change, microbial
interactions in nature, planetary microbiomes and food security, climate
change in relation to disease epidemiology and human health and
engineering microorganisms to mitigate the consequences of climate
change. The individual chapters in the intended book provide both
theoretical and practical exposure to the current issues and future
challenges of climate change in relation to the microbiomes.
This collection should serve as ready reference to the researchers
working in the area to reshape their future research in addressing the
challenges of global climate change.
