Examine important global environmental changes that will affect the
future of agriculture! Here is a complete introduction to the
influence of global environmental changes on the structure,
function, and harvestable yield of major field crops. It gives you
an in-depth look at the effects of climate change, air pollution,
and soil salinization. The book provides an introduction to the
ramifications, both positive and negative, of these ongoing
environmental changes for present and future crop production and
food supply. Crops and Environmental Change: An Introduction to
Effects of Global Warming, Increasing Atmospheric CO2 and O3
Concentrations, and Soil Salinization on Crop Physiology and Yield
integrates a discussion of the physiological effects of
environmental change with background information on basic topics in
plant physiology. Numerous charts, tables, and figures are included
to assist in understanding the empirical effects of the environment
on crops. Topics addressed in Crops and Environmental Change
include: the effects of increasing global atmospheric carbon
dioxide concentration climatic changes associated with increasing
atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases the effects of increasing ozone concentrations in the lower
atmosphere across large crop-growing regions soil salinization in
areas of irrigated crops the causes and trajectories of ongoing
environmental changes the implications of environmental changes on
the future of crop production and much more! The information in
this book is appropriate for newcomers to the field as well as for
seasoned professionals. It is written in language accessible to
those new to the area and serves as a good jumping off point for
more in-depth study. And since it is organized like a traditional
plant physiology textbook, it is appropriate for students in the
field. For experienced professionals, it acts as a handy
refresher/reference tool on the basics of plant physiology. Crops
and Environmental Change is a valuable resource for anyone
concerned with the future of agriculture. Make it part of your
professional/teaching collection today!
