Through a multidisciplinary lens, this book provides a cohesive and comprehensive understanding of both the current landscape and future prospects. Readers will find this book equips them with the knowledge and strategies required to manage soil nutrients and water effectively, ensuring the health of both soil and plants, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, where solutions are urgently needed.This book offers actionable insights into mitigating the impacts of climate change on agricultural systems, making it essential reading for anyone invested in sustainable land management and food security.

  • Climate Change and Crop Stress

    Molecules to Ecosystems
    • 1st Edition
    • November 18, 2021
    • Arun K.Shanker + 3 more
    • English
    Climate Change and Crop Stress: Molecules to Ecosystems expounds on the transitional period where science has progressed to ‘post-genomics’ and the gene editing era, putting field performance of crops to the forefront and challenging the production of practical applicability vs. theoretical possibility. Researchers have concentrated efforts on the effects of environmental stress conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, cold, or pathogen infection which can have a devastating impact on plant growth and yield. Designed to deliver information to combat stress both in isolation and through simultaneous crop stresses, this edited compilation provides a comprehensive view on the challenges and impacts of simultaneous stresses.

  • Biodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation in Tropical Islands

    • 1st Edition
    • April 5, 2018
    • Chandrakasan Sivaperuman + 3 more
    • English
    Biodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation in Tropical Islands provides comprehensive information on climate change, biodiversity, possible impacts, adaptation measures and policy challenges to help users rehabilitate and preserve the natural resources of tropical islands. While biodiversity and climate change of tropical islands has previously received less attention, it is ironically one of the most vulnerable regions in this regard. The core content of the work derives largely from the ideas and research output from various reputed scientists and experts who have recorded climate change impacts on aquatic and coastal life in tropical regions. Contributors have direct working experience with the tribes in some of the tropical islands. All of their expertise and information is compiled and presented in the work, including coverage related to climate change. This work highlights the ever-growing need to develop and apply strategies that optimize the use of natural resources, both on land and in water and judicious use of biodiversity. It functions as a critical resource on tropical island biodiversity for researchers, academicians, practitioners and policy makers in a variety of related disciplines.

    Mathematical models are being used more and more widely to study complex dynamic systems (global weather, ecological systems, hydrological systems, nuclear reactors etc. including the specific subject of this book, crop-soil systems). The models are important aids in understanding, predicting and managing these systems. Such models are complex and imperfect. One fundamental research direction is to seek a better understanding of how these systems function, and to propose mathematical expressions embodying that understanding. However, this is not sufficient. It is also essential to have tools (often mathematical and statistical methods) to aid in developing, improving and using the models built from those equations. The book is specifically concerned with the application of methods to crop models, but much of the material is also applicable to dynamic system models in other fields. The goal of this book is to fill that gap.

  • Soils on a Warmer Earth

    Effects of Expected Climate Change on Soil Processes, with Emphasis on the Tropics and Sub-Tropics
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 20
    • August 15, 1990
    • H.W. Scharpenseel + 2 more
    • English
    The theme of this book is a far reaching one and should attract great interest, both in industrialized as well as in less developed countries. Although the question of climate change and its effects on soil productivity is overshadowed by so many current events, it is almost certain that this subject will remain on the international agenda for the years to come; not only as science and research are concerned but also in relation to development policies, agricultural policies and others, especially since poor, rich, developed and developing countries are equally threatened by these problems.
