Quantification of Climate Variability, Adaptation and Mitigation for Agricultural Sustainability

This book is a comprehensive volume dealing with climate change impacts on agriculture, and which can help guide the redesign of agricultural management and cropping systems. It includes mitigation techniques such as use of bioenergy crops, fertilizer and manure management, conservation tillage, crop rotations, cover crops and cropping intensity, irrigation, erosion control, management of drained wetlands, lime amendments, residue management, biochar and biotechnology. It also includes

Management of GHG emissions

Crop models as decision support tools

QTL analysis

Crop water productivity

Impacts of drought on cereal crops

Silvopastoral systems

Changing climate impact on wheat-based cropping systems of South Asia

Phosphorous dynamics under changing climate

Role of bioinformatics 
The focus of the book is climate change mitigation to enhance sustainability in agriculture. We present various kinds of mitigation options, ways to minimize GHG emissions and better use of the latest techniques in conservation and environmental-sustainability.
