Handbook of Climate Change and Agroecosystems
World Scientific Publishing Company 2012; US$ 153.00Climate change is no longer merely projected to occur in the indeterminate future. It has already begun to be manifested in the weather regimes affecting agroecosystems, food production, and rural livelihoods in many regions around the world. It is a real and growing challenge to the world at large and in particular to the scientific community, which... more...
Crop Adaptation to Climate Change
Wiley 2011; US$ 249.95A major task of our time is to ensure adequate food supplies for the world's current population (now nearing 7 billion) in a sustainable way while protecting the vital functions and biological diversity of the global environment.
