This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Climate Change and Agricultural Ecosystems explains the causative factors of climate change related to agriculture, soil and plants, and discusses the relevant resulting mitigation process. 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. Englisch. Codice articolo 9780128164839

Riassunto:

Climate Change and Agricultural Ecosystems: Current Challenges and Adaptation explains the causative factors of climate change related to agriculture, soil and plants, also discussing the relevant resulting mitigation process. 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.

Changes in climatic conditions influence all factors of agricultural ecosystems which can adversely affect productivity. To fully understand the impact of climate change, attention must be focused on these unexplored causative agents and mitigating factors.
