This book provides an exhaustive coverage of effect of climate change on crops including ways for mitigation. It details with how climate change occurs, how it affects agriculture and strategies for agriculture practices to adapt to climate change and provides long-term agriculture techniques to mitigate the effects of climate change. Recognizing the importance of climate change and agriculture, this book explores timely contributions about the current state of climate change effects on agriculture and environment. This text analyzes the global consequences climate change effects on crop yields, production, and socioeconomic scenarios. The text discusses the impact of changing climate on agriculture, adaptation mechanism, impact of global warming, and climate change on different crops. It explores the overall global picture in terms of the effect of climate change on crops and suggests strategies for mitigating and adapting to climate change.This book also deals with biotechnological approaches to improve crop adaptation to climate change, carbon sequestration, effect of climate change on nutrient availability and acquisition and methods of estimating climate change impact on agriculture. The book contains 30 chapters starting from history of climate change, greenhouse gases production, effect on crop physiological processes viz., photosynthesis and respiratory processes, crop growth and productivity, crop yield and seed quality and pest interactions. This book not only provides relevant information on climate change and crop growth, but also will serve as an asset to agriculturists, climate change specialists and research scholars.
