Salt-Affected Soils and Plant Resilience, Gebunden

Blurb

This book explores the complex challenges posed by soil salinity and the remarkable resilience mechanisms in plants. This book covers the origins, distribution, and global impact of soil salinity, delving into both natural and anthropogenic causes. It examines the physiological, biochemical, genetic, and molecular responses of plants to salt stress, highlighting key mechanisms like ion homeostasis, osmotic adjustment, and oxidative stress management. This book also presents innovative agronomic practices, biotechnological approaches, and effective strategies for managing saline soils to enhance plant productivity and sustainability. Featuring case studies and future research directions, this book is an essential resource for researchers, agronomists, soil scientists, and policymakers committed to addressing soil salinity challenges and promoting agricultural resilience.
