New Paradigms in Environmental Biomonitoring Using Plants

New Paradigms in Environmental Biomonitoring Using Plants highlights and explores the importance of biomonitoring methodologies and the latest updates in the field. The book presents a holistic approach toward the different aspects of biomonitoring, focusing mainly upon the inclusion of newly emerging concepts of environmental genomics, metabarcoding, and cheminformatics and biomarkers, among other technologies; helping to explore and establish a new outlook for biomonitoring frameworks. This book compiles all aspects of biomonitoring including traditional and modern techniques, using a multidimensional approach without focusing on any specific pollutant. Most biomonitoring programs implemented until now have focused more on traditional methods. This book covers new approaches to biomonitoring that could improve on the currently limited capabilities of existing schemes. The book highlights the possible scope for enriching existing datasets and characterizing biodiversity in situ in a far more complete way than has been possible previously.

New Paradigms in Environmental Biomonitoring Using Plants will be important for researchers, academics, postgraduates and undergraduate students in environmental, plant, crop and soil sciences, to provide up-to-date and emerging technologies in biomonitoring for environmental assessment, leading to a new vision of biomonitoring. It will also be helpful for risk assessment professionals and stakeholders involved in planning the future biomonitoring programs.

Autorentext
Dr. Tiwari holds a doctoral degree in Botany and has been involved in teaching since 2009. She has an experience of about 19 years of research work related to air pollution and its impacts on plants. She has multiple research and review publications published in prestigious international journals. Prof Agrawal is Professor of the Department of Botany,Banaras Hindu University, India. He is an eminent and experienced researcher, actively involved in research related to the problems of air pollution especially with ozone, heavy metal contamination and UV-B exposure to plants. He has extensively worked on studying the response of plants to the above mentioned stress factors. He also has 30 years of teaching experience He has handled over 12 research projects and guided 15 Ph.D. students.Prof Agrawal is Professor of the Department of Botany,Banaras Hindu University, India.
