Book proposal titled "Biotechnological Applications for Soil and Water Improvement and Conservation".

Hello esteemed colleagues and academics,

I am thrilled to share some excellent news with you: our book proposal titled "Biotechnological Applications for Soil and Water Improvement and Conservation" has been accepted by the publisher, Bentham Science Publishers. We are now in the phase of seeking collaborators who wish to contribute to this exciting project. In the case of non-native English speakers, a language proficiency certificate is required.

The book will cover a wide range of topics related to environmental biotechnology, with each chapter offering unique perspectives and in-depth insights into these fields. Here are the proposed topics for the chapters:
