The book examines both direct and indirect effects of global climate change on agricultural production, focusing on changing hydrological patterns, soil processes (pedology), and plant physiological responses. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the interactions between climate change and agriculture, discussing the impact on crop yields, water resources, soil health, and plant growth. The book also addresses strategies for adapting agricultural practices to a changing climate, including the use of sustainable farming methods, crop diversification, and technological innovations. With contributions from experts in climatology, agronomy, hydrology, and soil science, this book is essential for understanding the challenges and opportunities posed by climate change to global agriculture, and it serves as a critical resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working in the fields of environmental science, agriculture, and climate policy.…

Ingram and S. Van de Geijn. 13. Global climatic change and agricultural production an assessment of current knowledge and critical gaps/F.A. Bazzaz and W.G. Sombroek. This book reports on the results of experiments to assess the effects of global climate change on the agricultural production of crops and livestock. It covers issues such as the CO2 fertilization effect the adverse effects of elevated levels of UV B radiation and ozone on plant growth and productivity and on livestock. Combined effects are also studied including changing CO2 temperature and UV B radiation and O3 simultaneously on crop growth. The concluding chapters given an idea of the overall global picture in terms of the effects already discussed. Changes in the world hydrological cycle the regional availability of water resources changes in soil conditions and the impact of this on food production as well as modelling techniques are all examined. 345 pp.…
