Climate Change Effect on Crop Productivity (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Sengar, Rakesh S.; Sengar, Kalpana

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides analyses ofthe global consequences to crop yields, production, and risk of hunger of linked socioeconomic and climate scenarios. Potential impacts of climate change are estimated to evaluate consequent changes in global cereal production, cereal prices, and the number of people at risk from hunger. The crop yield results elucidate the complex regional patterns of projected climate variables, CO2 effects, and agricultural systems that contribute to aggregations of global crop production.
