Agricultural ecosystems include factors from the surrounding areas where agriculture experiences direct or indirect interaction with the plants, animals, and microbes present. Changes in climatic conditions influence all the factors of agricultural ecosystems, which can potentially adversely affect their productivity. This book summarizes the different aspects of vulnerability, adaptation, and amelioration of climate change in respect to plants, crops, soil, and microbes for the sustainability of the agricultural sector and, ultimately, food security for the future. It also focuses on the utilization of information technology for the sustainability of the agricultural sector along with the capacity and adaptability of agricultural societies under climate change.
Climate Change and Agricultural Ecosystems
incorporates both theoretical and practical aspects, and serves as base line information for future research. This book is a valuable resource for those working in environmental sciences, soil sciences, agricultural microbiology, plant pathology, and agronomy.- Covers the role of chemicals fertilizers, environmental deposition, and xenobiotics in climate change
- Discusses the impact of climate change on plants, soil, microflora, and agricultural ecosystems
- Explores the mitigation of climate change by sustainable methods
- Presents the role of computational modelling in climate change mitigation
Researchers in agricultural microbiology, plant pathology, and agronomy, also some crossover to global climate change, environmental sciences, soil sciences. Secondary audiences are atmospheric scientists, climatologists and applied climatologists working in local partnerships to develop climate change risk assessment data.
