Agrometeorology
By: Mavi , Harpal S.; Tupper, Graeme J.
Published by: Haworth Press, The
Agrometeorology: Principles and Applications of Climate Studies in Agriculture is a much-needed reference resource on the practice of merging the science of meteorology with the service of agriculture. Written in a concise, straightforward style, the book presents examples of clinical applications (methods, techniques, models, and services) in varying climates and agricultural systems, documenting up-to-date research literature from around the world. Its systematic approach different from most books on the subject makes it an essential tool for teaching, planning, and practical use by working farmers, as it examines topics such as solar radiation, effective rain, drought monitoring, evapotranspiration, and remote sensing.

Climate Change and Global Food Security
By: Lal, Rattan
Published by: CRC Press
In order to feed their burgeoning populations, developing nations will need to double cereal production by 2050. Lal (natural resources, The Ohio State University) collects work by soil scientists and ecologists to explore possible solutions to this impending agricultural crisis. Contributors address the impact of projected climate change on soil q

Plant Growth and Climate Change
By: Morison, James I. L. (ed.); Morecroft, Michael D. (ed.)
Published by: Wiley-Blackwell
Evidence grows daily of the changing climate and its impact on plants and animals. Plant function is inextricably linked to climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. On the shortest and smallest scales, the climate affects the plant’s immediate environment and so directly influences physiological processes. At larger scales, the climate influences species distribution and community composition, as well as the viability of different crops in managed ecosystems. Plant growth also influences the local, regional and global climate, through the exchanges of energy and gases between the plants and the air around them. Plant Growth and Climate Change examines the major aspects of how anthropogenic climate change affects plants, focusing on several key determinants of plant growth: atmospheric CO2, temperature, water availability and the interactions between these factors. The book demonstrates the variety of techniques used across plant science: detailed physiology in controlled environments; observational studies based on long-term data sets; field manipulation experiments and modelling. It is directed at advanced-level university students, researchers and professionals across the range of plant science disciplines, including plant physiology, plant ecology and crop science. It will also be of interest to earth system scientists.
