The Phytopathogen Evolution and Adaptation

The Phytopathogen Evolution and Adaptation

So often new phytopathogens emerge and appear primarily in acute form and then take a chronic form; such populations however in general have a limited appearance because of the lack of suitable environmental conditions. The emergence of new pathogens needs to be explored in the light of their evolutionary adaptation. This new volume focuses on the study of quantitative aspects of host-phytopathogen linkages that result in the emergence of aggressive phytopathogens. The book examines the evolution and adaptation of phytopathogens from several cropping systems. | The Phytopathogen Evolution and Adaptation

Climate Change and the Oceanic Carbon Cycle Variables and Consequences

Climate Change and the Oceanic Carbon Cycle Variables and Consequences

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. This valuable compendium provides an overview of the variables and consequences of oceanic carbon cycling in the context of climate change. The chapters highlight the importance of marine plankton in carbon processing as well as the effects of rising CO2 and temperature in their functioning. Marine ecosystems are being increasingly threatened by growing human pressures including climate change. Understanding the consequences that climate change may have is crucial to predict the future of our oceans. Rising temperatures and ocean acidification may profoundly alter the mode of matter and energy transformation in marine ecosystems which could have irreversible consequences for our planet on ecological timescales. For that reason the scientific community has engaged in the grand challenge of studying the variables and consequences of oceanic carbon cycling in the context of climate change which has emerged as a relevant field of science. The book is broken into four sections:Understanding the Importance of Ocean BiogeochemistryQuantifying Oceanic Carbon VariablesPhytoplankton and Oceanic Carbon Cycle Ocean AcidificationEdited by a researcher with many years of experience and with contributions from scientists from around the world this volume explores the most important topics on climate change and oceanic carbon cycling. | Climate Change and the Oceanic Carbon Cycle Variables and Consequences
