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."
