Climate change and increased climate variability in terms of rising
temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and increasing extreme
weather events, such as severe drought and devastating floods, pose
a threat to the production of agricultural and horticultural
crops-a threat this is expected to worsen. Climate change is
already affecting-and is likely to increase-invasive species,
pests, and disease vectors, all adversely affecting
agri-horticultural crop productivity. Advances in agricultural
knowledge, science, and technology will be required to develop
improved crop traits, such as temperature, drought, pest, and salt
tolerance. This two-volume set gives readers an understanding of
the issues and makes suggestions for ways to mitigate adverse
climate change effects on crops. The focus of Volume 1: The
Principles and Applications in Horticultural Science is to identify
impacts and suggest appropriate and effective adaptation and
mitigation strategies. Volume 2: Impact, Adaptation, and Mitigation
focuses on the impact of climate change on horticultural crops and
offers ways to adapt practices to mitigate adverse effects.
Together, the two volumes offer a diverse selection of chapters
that address issues of importance to those in the horticulture
industry, researchers, faculty, and others. The two-volume set: *
Provides a recent understanding about climate change effects on
horticulture * Covers unique information regarding important fruit
crops, including flowers, spices, and plantation crops * Serves as
an excellent source for researchers to formulate their adaptation
and mitigation strategies * Covers abiotic and biotic stresses in
relation to climate change * Presents environmentally safe and
recent technological approaches such as nanotechnology and
biodynamics * Includes case studies The books are an excellent
resource for researchers; instructors; students in agriculture,
horticulture, environmental science, and other allied subjects; and
policymakers.
