Preface Impact of climate change is expected to be broadly negative, including reduced water availability, salinity, flood, and infestation of pests and diseases. Due to the significant climate change over the centuries, the incidence of various abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, extreme temperature, atmospheric pollutions, and metal toxicities regularly affect plant life and productivity. Many crops perform only at 30% of their genetic potential under adverse environmental conditions. The predictable loss of crop production is as much as 70% in an average and might be 100% in extreme cases. The resulted economic loss caused by environmental stress is a great concern in agriculture. To sustain productivity against the environmental stresses, the crucial impor- tance is to know and understand the plants-specific responses to the different envi- ronmental factors. Plant ecophysiology is the science of interaction of plants with the environment, and the vital underlying acclimation and adaptation processes. The off-putting effects of abiotic stresses result in alteration in plant metabolism and physiology, which challenge survival, productivity, reproductive biology, and repro- ducibility. These adverse effects result from structural and functional alteration of cellular components of plant. Structural alterations of cellular organelles due to environmental stresses cause alteration in physiological processes, such as water entrance and transportation, nutrient uptake, chloroplast functioning, photosyn- thetic efficiency, mitochondrial activity, vacuolar structure and function, and the altered structure of nucleus cause genetic modification. The physiology and adap- tive mechanisms of plants are greatly varied in different species and genotypes. The ability of various plant groups to tolerate the extremes posed by natural conditions and/or chemically rich environments involves morphological and physiological adaptation as well as changes in ecological behavior to sustain in relatively pro- tected niches within an extreme environment. To survive under environmental extremity, plants respond at the molecular, cel- lular, and physiological level, which involves a complex network supporting per- ception and transmission of stress signals, which subsequently initiate a plethora of responses. Against different kinds of stress-induced responses, there are two broad outcomes: programmed cell death (PCD) or stress acclimation. The PCD is vii viii Preface considered a lethal effect whereas acclimation often leads to adaptation to certain adverse environmental stresses, which sustain plant survival and productivity. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms underpinning plant stress adaptation may offer novel opportunities to develop crop plants with an enhanced ability to tolerate environmental fluctuations, which are the focal points of concern of plant ecophysiological study. In modern concept, the survival mechanism and potential of plants are not left behind as a natural process. Rather how the adaptation pro- cess can be enhanced is a great concern of scientists of the related fields. In pres- ent perspectives, scientists are manipulating the surrounding environment of target plants so that the plant can be less affected by natural environmental stresses. Use of a broad range of exogenous phytoprotectants including plant nutrients, trace elements, phytohormones, and signaling molecules, probiotic microorganisms to improve adaptation processes of plants are being explored day by day. Scientists are going through the genetic manipulation and biotechnological processes to sus- tain plant productivity under the adverse environmental conditions. Much prog- ress has been gained in the last few decades in the area of plant ecophysiology research and on their adaptive mechanisms. Although there are numerous publica- tions in journal and proceedings, there is a scarcity of a comprehensive book deal- ing with both ecophysiology and adaptive mechanisms of plants under climate change. This is the second volume of the two-volume book, Plant Ecophysiology and Adaptation under Climate Change: Mechanisms and Perspectives that provides current state-of-the-science knowledge of plant ecophysiology, with particular emphasis on plant responses and tolerance mechanisms as well as remediation tech- niques. This volume will provide the reader with a wide spectrum of information, including vital references. This is done through 32 chapters written by hundreds of experts in the field of Botany, Plant Physiology, Ecology, Crop Science, and Environmental Sciences, ultimately aiming to become a useful information tool for plant biologists, crop scientists, ecologists, plant breeders as well as a guide for students in the field of Plant Science, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. I like to give special thanks to the authors for their outstanding and timely work in producing such fine chapters. Our profound thanks also go to Mr. Sayed Mohammad Mohsin, Dr. M.H.M. Borhannuddin Bhuyan, Ms. Khurshida Parvin, Dr. Kamrun Nahar, Khussboo Rahman, Khadeja Sultana Sathi, and Mr. Abdul Awal Chowdhury Masud, for their critical review and valuable support in formatting and incorporating all editorial changes in the manuscripts. I am highly thankful to Ms. Lee, Mei Hann, Editor (Editor, Life Science), Springer, Japan, for her prompt responses during the acquisition. I am also thankful to Sivachandran Ravanan, Project Coordinator of this book, and all other editorial staffs for their precious help in formatting and incorporating editorial changes in the manuscripts.
