The third volume of Sustainable Soil and Land Management and Climate Change presents a complete overview of plant soil interactions in a climate affected by greenhouse gas emissions and organic carbon. It presents approaches and managements strategies for the stabilization of soil organic matter.

The latest in the respected Footprints of Climate Variability on Plant Diversity series, this book enhances the reader's knowledge of the preservation of organic matter through microbial approaches as well as through soil and plant interactions. Written by teams of specialist scientists, it presents research outcomes, practical applications and future challenges for this important field.

Features:

• Presents microbial tactics for the alleviation of potentially toxic elements in agricultural soils and for reclaiming saline soil.
• Provides an overview of scientific investigations into greenhouse gas emissions.
• Outlines priming techniques developed in response to a changing climate.

This book is written for students of agronomy, soil science and the environmental sciences as well as researchers interested in management technologies to improve soil fertility.

1.1 Introduction

In terms of global cereal production, rice is second only to wheat and feeds over half of the world’s population. Over 400 million people in the rice-producing areas of Asia, Africa, and South America rely on rice and its derived products to meet their dietary requirements (Joseph et al. 2010). An area of approximately 162.3 million hectares is under rice cultivation globally, with a total production of 738.1 million tons (FAOSTAT 2014). Due to increasing population, the demand for rice is increasing rapidly. In terms of rice-consuming countries, China is at the top, with a consumption of 141.45 million metric tons per year (Statista 2018). The world’s population is increasing, and is projected to reach 9 billion by 2050. Most of this population increase will be increased in the developing world, where rice is a major f...
