This contributed volume describes management practices based on
interdisciplinary and convergence science approaches from different
disciplines of agricultural science to enhance the resilience of
dryland agriculture. The main focus of this book is to address the
current issues and trends along with future prospects and
challenges in adopting salient agricultural management practices in
drylands globally under a climate-change scenario. Climate change
and global warming have profound repercussions on increasing
frequency, severity, and duration of droughts and/or floods, which
may have implications for future productivity of dryland
agriculture, e.g., more water shortages or abundances and high or
low runoff rates, diminished crop yields, and reduced water
productivity. In past few years, many technological advancements
and management strategies have been evolved to tackle the
climate-induced risks of dryland agriculture considering
interdisciplinary and convergence approaches that integrate
knowledge from multi-disciplines. This book is an attempt to bridge
the gap in literature by unraveling controversies and
characteristics of dryland ecosystems under the changing climate
and dealing with detailed procedures of applying the advanced
practices adapted to climate change for management of dryland
agriculture. This edited book is of interest to ecologists,
economists, environmentalists, geologists, horticulturalists,
hydrologists, soil scientists, social scientists, natural resource
conservationists and policy makers dealing with dryland
agriculture. This book offers a broad understanding of dryland
agriculture and assists the reader to identify both the current as
well as the probable future state of dryland agriculture in a
global context.Â
