Climate Change Drivers and Soil Microbe-Plant Interactions

Climate change is one of the most important global concerns of modern era, with economic, social, scientific, political, moral, and ethical aspects. The soil ecosystem, which encompasses an enormous diversity of microbial life, is critical in this regard because it is a key component of the carbon and nitrogen cycles and is associated in the removal of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which contribute to climate change. The microbial world is an important component of various biogeochemical cycles, and its role in climate change must be considered. Microbes, on the other hand, are rarely mentioned in climate change discussions. Microbial activity has not been taken into account sufficiently in most climates due to a lack of adequate understanding. Therefore, this book chapter provides an insight into the the intrinsic and extrinsic attributes, direct and indirect mechanism and emerging technologies for understanding of plant–microbe responses to climatic change that confer reason of soil microbial communities to climate extremes.
