​The risks and consequences of environmental change are increasing, leading to massive losses in terms of ecosystems and having a huge impact on human populations. As such, global thinkers, environmentalists, scientists and policy makers are focusing on finding solutions and ways to sustain life on Earth. Anthropogenic impacts on the climate system can only be mitigated by the restoration of existing natural resources and the sustainable development of the environment and society.
This book discusses the potential of green technology in waste management, wetland restoration, presenting the latest developments in the field of bioenergy, green ecology, bioremediation and microbial management. Wetlands are one of Earth's most important ecosystems, and they provide valuable services to human societies, such as minimizing the impacts of floods, acting as a carbon sink, and offering water purification as well as recreational opportunities. Wetlands may be natural or constructed, and the effectiveness of wetland services largely depends on the diversity of macrophytes affecting the algal production, plant biomass and nutrient status of the system. In addition, they are one of the richest microbial ecosystems on earth: the rhizosphere, soil and water interface enhances wetland services with implications ranging from phytoremediation to microbial bioprospection. However, in order to function properly, they need to be effectively redesigned, reengineered, protected and maintained.
The book addresses the dynamic relation between three global concerns: environmental pollution, resource exploitation and sustainability. It describes the utilization of resources like wastes (municipal, industrial, agricultural, mine drainage, tannery, solid, and e waste), plants, algae and microbes for production of renewable biofuel, biofertilizers and other value added products to achieve the goal of sustainable development. The book also discusses the current and future trends in employing wetlands in improving water quality. In addition it presents the latest international research in the fields of wetland science, waste management, carbon sequestration and bioremediation.
Highlighting a broad spectrum of topics and strategies for achieving a sustainable environment, the book offers researchers, students and academics insights into utilizing resources in a sustainable way.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

環境變化的風險和後果正在增加,導致生態系統的巨大損失,並對人類社會產生重大影響。因此,全球的思想家、環保人士、科學家和政策制定者正專注於尋找解決方案和維持地球生命的方法。人類對氣候系統的影響只能通過恢復現有的自然資源以及環境和社會的可持續發展來減輕。

本書討論了綠色技術在廢物管理和濕地恢復中的潛力,並介紹了生物能源、綠色生態學、生物修復和微生物管理領域的最新發展。濕地是地球上最重要的生態系統之一,為人類社會提供了寶貴的服務,例如減少洪水影響、作為碳匯,以及提供水質淨化和休閒機會。濕地可以是自然形成的或人工建造的,其服務的有效性在很大程度上取決於影響藻類生產、植物生物量和系統營養狀態的高等植物多樣性。此外,濕地也是地球上最豐富的微生物生態系統之一:根際、土壤和水界面增強了濕地服務,其影響範圍從植物修復到微生物生物勘探。然而,為了正常運作,濕地需要有效地重新設計、再工程、保護和維護。

本書探討了三個全球關注的動態關係:環境污染、資源開發和可持續性。它描述了利用廢物(市政、工業、農業、礦山排水、製革、固體和電子廢物)、植物、藻類和微生物生產可再生生物燃料、生物肥料和其他增值產品,以實現可持續發展的目標。本書還討論了在改善水質方面使用濕地的當前和未來趨勢。此外,它介紹了濕地科學、廢物管理、碳封存和生物修復領域的最新國際研究。

本書強調了實現可持續環境的廣泛主題和策略,為研究人員、學生和學者提供了以可持續方式利用資源的見解。
