      Multiple Abiotic Stresses: Mechanisms and Management Strategies is the only single-volume reference providing insights into the occurrence of multiple abiotic stresses faced by plants, their physiology and adaptation mechanisms. The responses and recovery processes by plants under multiple abiotic stresses are different than when facing an individual stress, or multiple stresses faced separately. Exploring these mechanistic differences and management practices is key to advancing understanding and improvement of plant health and crop production.Combined or multiple abiotic stresses are an emerging outcome of global climate change, resulting in significant impact on crop plants around the world. Drought, temperature extremes, salinity, and submergence/water stagnation are some of the major stresses that may occur in a sequence in a single cropping season and sometimes simultaneously as well.This book provides a comprehensive resource for researchers, educators, students, and practitioners interested in the intricate interplay between multiple abiotic stresses and plant biology, as well as strategies for enhancing stress resilience and sustainability in agriculture.
