Resource detail

This book to comprehensively present the recent, internationally accepted, standard methodologies for studying the impacts of climate change on agriculture, measuring and developing inventories of greenhouse gas emission, and analyzing the vulnerabilities and mitigation options. It describes the methodology in a simple and lucid way so that a researcher can adopt it in laboratory and field studies. Individual chapters are dedicated to subjects such as quantification of climate change impacts on crops in controlled and field conditions, impacts of climate change on water resources, soil fertility, erosion and carbon sequestration, insects, pests, weeds, microbes and diseases; greenhouse gas emission assessment, assessment of regional vulnerability to climate change, selection of crop and vegetable genotypes for climate change adaptation and mitigation, assessing biochemical traits of crops for climate change adaptation and mitigation and assessing the potential of biochar for C sequestration and residue management.
