This book provides a captivating account of these systems and their extraordinary inhabitants, ‘extremophiles’. A diverse, multidisciplinary group of experts discuss responses and adaptations to change, biodiversity, bioenergetic processes, and biotic and abiotic interactions, polar environments, and life and habitability, including searching for biosignatures in the extraterrestrial environment. The editors emphasise that understanding these systems is important for increasing our knowledge and utilising their potential, but this remains anunderstudied area. Given the threat to these environment sand their biota caused by climate change and human impact, this timely book also addresses the urgency to document the sesystems.
