Addressing the impacts on a range of important global food crops, it looks at issues of water and temperature and their impact on soil quality for production.
Presented by a global team of experts, this book will be important for researchers seeking to understand specific challenges, and means of addressing those challenges effectively and efficiently.
The agriculture sector is arguably one of the most sensitive to changes in the climate. Because the climate of a region determines the nature and characteristics of vegetation and crops, any change in the mean seasonal temperature and decrease in effective precipitation can reduce productive periods for crops, risking outbreaks of pests and disease and negatively affecting global food security.
- Explains the impact of climate change on soil properties, productivity, and microbial diversity
- Provides detailed information regarding the impact of climate change on yields of cereal grains and other crops
- Enables agricultural scientists to design policies and management strategies for sustainable agriculture
