Sustainable Plant Diversity for the Present and Future Generations
摘要
The plants are holdfast of many life-forms especially the human being as they provide food, fodder, fuel, shelter, fiber, medicines, etc. The plant-based products are easily available to different sections of the society. The most important herbal medicines are considered safer and more affordable. The continuously increasing human population is threatening the arable land in general and plant diversity in particular. The various land use mechanisms along with biotic/abiotic stresses and invasive species are the additional constraints. Need of the hour is to put the effective strategies in place for sustainable utilization of plant resources, so that these can be conserved for the future generations as well.
