Produktinformationen "Climate Change and Agriculture"
Agriculture refers to the practice of cultivating plants and livestock, and it is highly dependent on climate. Climate change and variability are major challenges for agriculture since it can lead to reduced crop yields, decreased nutritional quality of major cereals, and reduced productivity of livestock. The negative impacts of climate change are manifested in the form of increasing temperatures, shifting agro-ecosystem boundaries, weather variability, invasive pests, etc. Climate resilient crops and improved agricultural practices play a crucial role in coping with climate variability. Some major agricultural management strategies include residue incorporation, water harvesting for supplementing irrigation, and water saving technologies such as in-situ and ex-situ moisture conservation. This book explores the impacts and adaptations in agriculture with respect to climate change. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
