Mycorrhizae, Microplastics and Money: Wastes as a Resource for Farming and Forestry to Deliver Reversal of Global Warming features the establishment and continuing evolution of a technology-based, global plan to deliver environmental sustainability that works because it is financially driven. This book will highlight on upcycling end-of-life materials using mycorrhizae and microplastic technology. This book contains technological approaches to upcycle wastes while not using mineral fertilizers but still delivering higher yields, raising the possibility of receiving carbon credits. Information will be included on safe upscaling of waste and financial and environmental sustainability, practical approaches to land management, and reverse franchising.

Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Removal of Emerging Contaminants: Sustainable Approach for Environmental Clean-up and Circular Economy focuses on the exploitation of various Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to treat emerging contaminants and the restoration of contaminated sites. The book addresses critical environmental issues and challenges faced by society to meet such challenges. It highlights artificial intelligence and machine learning tools in the removal of environmental contaminants, such as industrial effluents, air, and to overcome limitations of conventional methods, predict water quality parameters and decrease the chances of error.Advanced tools, updated information, and future directions for researchers and scientists working in the bioremediation of emerging contaminants, bioenergy and reutilization of waste biomass in the production of value-added products for environmental safety are also thoroughly discussed.

Soil Microorganisms for Plant Growth Promotion and Soil Health provides readers with an overview of plant growth-promoting microorganisms and their molecular mechanisms to improve plant growth and soil health. Students and researchers in soil science will gain a comprehensive understanding of soil microbiota diversity and functions, along with insights into the mechanisms by which plant growth, including molecular processes involved in nutrient acquisitions and defense mechanisms work. In addition, the book provides a noteworthy emphasis on fungi.A soil beneficial microbe cannot only be the living cells, but also their components, such as molecules or enzymes produced by this beneficial microbiota. Molecules like microbial phytohormones can be excellent promoters or regulators of plant growth, as well as proteins and other compounds like volatiles, which might elicit a systemic resistance response against pathogenic threats. Therefore, plant growth promoters living in soil, associated with plant roots, could act through direct beneficial interactions with the plant, by stimulating or regulating growth responses to environmental conditions, or indirectly by inhibiting the growth of potential microbial pathogens and herbivore pests.
