Climate Change: Impact of Elevated CO2 and Temperature on Crops, Weeds and Soil Microbes is a comprehensive and timely volume that explores the profound effects of climate change, specifically elevated CO2 and temperature on plant physiology, crop productivity, weed dynamics, and soil microbial interactions. The primary objective of this book is to provide a detailed and up-to-date overview of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms governing crop responses to elevated CO2 and temperature. It also examines the impact on weeds and soil microbial communities, highlighting potential adaptation and mitigation strategies for sustainable agriculture. Readers will gain valuable insights into the latest methodologies and scientific advancements in this field.

This volume offers in-depth coverage of key topics, including:

· Impact of elevated CO2 and temperature on the physiology, yield, and quality of major crops

· Responses of cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and vegetables to elevated CO2 and temperature

· Nutritional and quality changes in food crops under climate change scenarios

· Growth dynamics and physiological responses of weeds under elevated CO2 and temperature

· Role of soil microbes in plant health and ecosystem stability in changing climates

· Influence of elevated CO2 and temperature on key metabolic pathways, including photosynthesis, transpiration, redox metabolism, carbon metabolism, and nitrogen metabolism

· Adaptive mechanisms in crops, including osmo-protectant accumulation, phytohormonal regulation, and mitigation strategies for climate resilience

As a significant contribution to climate change and plant science research, this book serves as an essential resource for plant physiologists, agronomists, environmental scientists, soil microbiologists, geneticists, and students. It is a valuable reference for researchers and professionals working on climate adaptation strategies in agriculture and can also be used in coursework for graduate and postgraduate studies.

Rajeev Kumar is presently working as a Scientist at ICAR-Indian Institute of Vegetable Research, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. He completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Plant Physiology in 2015 and 2021, respectively from ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. India. His research interests are phenotyping of vegetables (tomato, okra, Indian bean, cowpea, pea, French Bean and cucurbits etc.) for abiotic stresses like drought, high temperature and salinity. Moreover, he also has expertise in post-harvest physiology and image-based phenotyping. His findings have been published in various national and international peer-reviewed journals. He is the recipient of awards like young scientist award and best oral/poster awards of different scientific professional societies.

Dasari Sreekanth is working as a Scientist (Plant Physiology) at ICAR- Directorate of Weed Research, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. He is an expert worker in the area of climate change such as the impact of elevated CO2, temperature and drought stress on crop-weed interaction and herbicide efficacy in various major crops like rice, wheat and green gram. Moreover, he is also working on the aspect of the effect of biotic stress such as weeds on crop physiological, biochemical and molecular responses. His findings have been published in various international peer-reviewed journals. He has published several research papers/reviews articles in national/international peer reviewed journals, books, and book chapters, technical bulletins, edited Institute publications like newsletters and annual reports. He is the recipient of Awards like best scientist award, best oral/poster awards of different scientific professional societies.

P.S. Basavaraj is working as a Scientist (Genetics and Plant Breeding) at ICAR- National Institute of Abiotic Stress Management, Baramati, Maharashtra. He has specialization in the physiological breeding for abiotic stress tolerance in field crops, in addition, he is instrumental in optimizing protocols for assessing responses of mungbean, chickpea, pigeonpea, soybean, maize, sunflower to various abiotic stresses. His team successfully employed image-based plant phenomics tools to identify promising genetic stocks of mungbean, chickpea, pigeonpea, soybean for water and high temperature stress tolerance. Currently, his research interests are high-throughput phenotyping (screening genotypes), abiotic stress tolerance in crops, and sustainable agriculture under abiotically stressed environments with adaptation and mitigation options for stresses like drought, high temperature and elevated CO2, waterlogging in field crops. His findings have published in various national and international peer-reviewed journals.
