“The past actions of mankind have changed the climate, and now the climate is affecting S S
e e
the actions of mankind. The chapters of this book do impart key information on many
n n
key aspects of the impact climate change is having and may/will have on agriculture. g g
a a on Crop Productivity
…Knowledge on this topic is changing rapidly and there are few overviews, except
r r
from governments and governmental groups. So, the content of the book is definitely
relevant and useful.”

Explore the Relationship between Crop and Climate
C
o
Agricultural sustainability has been gaining prominence in recent years and is now
l
becoming the focal point of modern agriculture. Recognizing that crop production ni
m
is very sensitive to climate change, Climate Change Effect on Crop Productivity

explores this timely topic in-depth. Incorporating contributions by expert scientists, C
a
professors, and researchers from around the world, it emphasizes concerns about the
rt
current state of agriculture and of our environment. This text analyzes the global
o
e
consequences to crop yields, production, and risk of hunger linking climate and
p

socioeconomic scenarios.

The book contains 19 chapters covering issues such as CO , ozone on plants, o
2
n
productivity fertilization effect, UV (ultraviolet) radiation, temperature, and stress
d
on crop growth. The text discusses the impact of changing climate on agriculture, g
u
environment stress physiology, adaptation mechanism, climate change data of recent e
years, impact of global warming, and climate change on different crops. It explores the c

overall global picture in terms of the effect of crops to climate change during abiotic tE
stress and considers strategies for offsetting and adapting to ongoing climate change. i

An asset to agriculturists, environmentalists, climate change specialists, policy makers, ie
t
and research scholars, Climate Change Effect on Crop Productivity provides yc
relevant information and opportunities for productive engagement and discussion
t
among government negotiators, experts, stakeholders, and others concerned about Edited by
climate change and agriculture.
