Improvement of our understanding of soil-microbe and soil-plant-microbe interactions under climate change is essential because
several studies have been carried out on inoculation of benign microbes under normal conditions, but the overall impact of these interactions, specifically under varying adverse environmental conditions, are often lacking. Microbial processes associated with biogeochemical cycles play an important role in global fluxes of greenhouse gases and are influenced greatly by climate change. These changes can be either positive (increased cell biomass and/or enhanced physiological functioning) or negative (decreased cell biomass/or reduced physiological functioning). Depending upon the response of the microorganisms, they either can help in maintaining the ecological balance and mitigating the effect of climate change or can aggravate the problem. Thus, it is necessary to study the changes caused due to climate change on microbial processes associated with biogeochemical cycles. This aspect must be incorporated in the models predicting the impact of climate change and mitigation measures, only then the results will be more realistic and meaningful. Most studies have taken into account the effect of one factor, however in nature, all the physical factors exert their influence at any given point of time. Thus, more studies should mimic natural conditions as much as possible as the interactive effect of various climatic factors will be different from single factor effect. Moreover, due to climate change, incidences of extreme weather events have increased, but very few studies have been conducted in this direction. This Research Topic will help to understand the impact of climate change on soil microbiome and its impact on aboveground along with mitigation strategies deployed to alleviate adverse climate impact. The Research Topic shall provide an ideal academic platform for researchers to present the latest findings and describe emerging tools and technologies involved in climate change and sustenance of soil and crop health around globe. This Topic will also help to understand coping strategies opted by soil and plant microbiome that adapt to the climate changing scenario.
To address global climatic impact on sustenance of life for food security mediated through soil microbiome, the proposed research topic is much needed. This will be the first and novel type of research topic will be aimed to increase the capacity building for climate change impact in sustenance of soil and crop productivity. The objective of this research topic is to enhance the capacity of scientific members and other stakeholders such as industry partners to develop and implement effective mitigation strategy, as well as to use tools for the implementation of effective climate migration policies. In doing so, proposed topic will have to imply better governance as embodied in scientific frameworks.
This Research Topic invites researchers to dissect the microbe based amelioration and their application to unravel the perplexity of climate change on sustenance of ecosphere. In addition, understanding of the microbial physiology and optimal conditions for agricultural productivity will also be considered. This Topic will cover the detailed discussion in context of different types of functional microbes, their properties and recent emerging ideas for their application in agricultural fields. We believe that this Topic will be of high importance to unfold principles and practices of climate change on soil microbiome or vice versa and will enable a better understanding of the nature of microbial application procedure for sustainable ecosystem. For this we invite review and original research papers with high quality experimental works.
