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 towards the different aspects of biomonitoring, focusing mainly on the inclusion of newly emerging concepts of environmental genomics, biomagnetic monitoring metabarcoding, and ecoinformatics and machine learning algorithms (ecoinformatics), among other technologies. This book compiles all aspects of biomonitoring, including traditional and modern techniques, using a multidimensional approach without focusing on any specific pollutant. It will be important for researchers, academics, postgraduates and undergraduate students in environmental, plant, crop and soil sciences, providing them with up-to-date and emerging technologies in biomonitoring for environmental assessment. In addition, this resource will be helpful for risk assessment professionals and stakeholders involved in planning future biomonitoring programs. Forms a cohesive source of information for technologies of use in environmental monitoring Discusses newly emerging techniques in biomonitoring, including cutting-edge advances in ecology and genomics Covers current biomonitoring concepts and programs and includes a holistic approach for biomonitoring INDICE: 1.
