Summary
Climate change presents multifaceted stressors that profoundly affect plant physiology, biochemistry, and ecology in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Fluctuations in temperature, altered precipitation patterns, increased atmospheric CO2 levels, and changes in water availability and quality pose significant challenges to plant survival and productivity. Understanding these complex interactions is crucial for developing strategies to enhance plant resilience and maintain ecosystem health.
This Special Issue, "Integrative Approaches to Plant Stress Responses under Changing Climate Conditions," aims to advance our understanding of how plants respond to combined stressors in soil and water environments. We seek research that elucidates the mechanisms of stress tolerance at molecular, cellular, and organismal levels and examines the ecological consequences of climate-induced stress on plant communities.
We aim to fill existing knowledge gaps and propose novel approaches to mitigate adverse effects on plants in changing environmental conditions. By integrating plant physiology, molecular biology, environmental science, and conservation perspectives, we aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and highlight innovative solutions for enhancing plant resilience. Contributions that explore the interactions between multiple stressors and the role of environmental variables in modulating plant responses are highly encouraged.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to a holistic understanding of plant stress responses in terrestrial and aquatic environments. This Special Issue aims to support the development of effective management and remediation strategies that ensure plant and ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change.
