Full Description
Fully revised to include the latest scientific developments, Climate Change and Agricultural Ecosystems: Current Challenges and Adaptation, Second Edition continues to provide vital insights into the complex and dynamic relationship between climate, agriculture, soil and plants. Building on its proven value in guiding real-world application as well as inspiring further research, this new edition includes new insights and practices. Agricultural ecosystems are highly dependent on weather and climate for the production of necessary foods to sustain human life. Despite leading cutting-edge tools and technologies for developing improved varieties, genetically modified organisms, and irrigation systems, climate change is still a major constraint to agricultural productivity. It takes years to assess the impacts of climate change and vulnerability to it and to prepare proper countermeasures against it. Developing countermeasures drawn based on scientific diagnosis and assessment of the impacts of climate change on agriculture are essential in establishing the vision and administrative policies of future agriculture. Climate Change and Agricultural Ecosystems focuses on recent research and updates on interactions between agriculture, ecosystems, environment, and climate change bringing together ideas and innovations of the latest scientific findings on climate change and enriched by renowned researchers knowledge and experience in this field. It reflects the importance of acting now on climate change: to eliminate hunger; to enable the agriculture sectors to adapt to climate change.
