Challenges and Solutions of Climate Impact on Agriculture explores the issues arising from the changing climate for agricultural plants, with a specifically soil-focused approach. Addressing the impacts on a range of important global food crops, it looks at issues of water and temperature, and their impact on soil quality for production. The agriculture sector is arguably one of the most sensitive to changes in the climate. Because the climate of a region determines the nature and characteristics of vegetation and crops, any change in the mean seasonal temperature and decrease in effective precipitation can reduce the productive periods for crops, risking outbreaks of pests and disease, and negatively affecting the food security of the world. Presented by a global team of experts, this book will be important for researchers seeking to understand specific challenges, and means of addressing those challenges effectively and efficiently.
