Abstract:
"Our climate is continuously heating up and the impacts of global warming (GW) and green house gas (GHG) grow more frequent and severe. Consequently, farmers and agroecosystems around the world started to become increasingly challenged. Climate change will cause more flooding in many regions of the world, severe drought in other regions; will affect crop and livestock viability, and also new pests, pathogens, and weed problems. Therefore, agriculture is required to shift to a more sustainable and resilient system to cope with these changes, mitigate impacts caused by these changes, and feed the growing population. This book will look at how to develop sustainable agriculture in its broad and targeted sense under the conditions of a changing climate. It will cover different disciplines attracting interests from the scientific community involved in the development of sustainable agroecosystems and cropping systems, and detail how to improve the resilience of cultivated crops and cropping systems to the adverse conditions of the climate, such as drought, raising carbon dioxide, global warming and many other secondary effects such as soils fertility depletion, uncommon disease and pests. This book will report on agricultural practices and agroecosystems and how they will cope with the changing climate; the modification and enhancement of crop production practices to harnessing the potential changes caused by the changing climate and mitigate its impacts on the agroecosystems and crops production"-- Provided by publisher.
