Climate Change and Agrometeorology

The  monograph focuses on agricultural meteorology and climate change and  its impacts on different crops. Comprising of chapters from experts, the  book discusses and provides first-hand information to the long term  shifts in weather patterns and temperature impacting soil, water and  crops. Each chapter focuses in detail on the impact of plant- water –  soil nexus and climate change on agriculture and food security. 

Covering  the basic concepts about the temperature, pressure and humidity  correlation with the increased demands of food, the book explores in  detail the impact of adverse climatic conditions like drought, floods,  increasing levels of carbon dioxide emissions and other simultaneous  effects like soil fertility depletion on the cropping systems and  overall crop productivity. The book touches the challenges of climate  change, adaptive methods, mitigation strategies, with careful  explanation of governance, plans and policies required to provide  guidelines to stake holders so they can best prepare for the negative  climate change impacts. 

While touching the  agricultural challenges faced globally due to climate change, the book  serves as a reference book for students, researchers and policy makers,  involved in horticulture, agriculture and environmental sciences and  climate change.
