Soil Microbiome: A Treasure Trove for Soil Health Sustainability under Changing Climate

Climate change imprints on soil are projected primarily through the changes in moisture and surge temperature CO2 levels response to climate is anticipated have varying impacts characteristics processes that instrumental restoration of fertility as well productivity. encompasses a major concern sharing its impact stability functionality microbiome characterized by one or more chief metrics encircling resistance, resilience, functional redundancy. Nevertheless, explorations over past years unveiled potential microbial interventions regeneration soils assurance perked-up resilience crops. The strategies involved therein encompass harnessing native capability microbes for carbon sequestration, phyto-stimulation, bio fertilization, rhizo-mediation, biocontrol plant pathogens, enzyme-mediated breakdown, antibiosis, prompting anti-oxidative defense mechanism, exudation volatile organic compounds (VOCs) induced systemic resistance (ISR) host plant. However, short storage shelf-life microbe-based formulations stay significant constraint rigorous efforts necessary appraise their additive crop growth under changing scenarios.
