Global climate change in the form of extreme heat and drought poses a major challenge to
sustainable crop production by negatively affecting plant performance and crop yield. Such …

This study discusses importance of assessing environmental sustainability of fruits and
vegetable (F&V) production sector in future climate change (CC) scenarios. For the current …

A biostimulant is an organic material that, when applied in small quantities, enhances plant
growth and development such that the response cannot be attributed to the application of …

Changes in temperature, CO2, and precipitation under the scenarios of climate change for
the next 30 yr present a challenge to crop production. This review focuses on the impact of …

Crop-response data from over 700 published papers and conference proceedings have
been analysed with the aim of establishing ozone dose-response functions for a wide range …

Most of the projected global population increases will take place in third world countries that
already suffer from water, food, and health problems. Increasingly, the various water uses …

Climate change scenarios can be used with crop simulation models to predict the impact of
climate change on agricultural production. Focusing on two specific arable crops:(i) barley, a …

Model based projections of overall climate change effects on future crop yields strongly
depend on the integration of the direct CO2 fertilization effect. For European crops little …

This book provides an overview of results on the effects of global environmental changes on
crop productivity. It focuses on 4 environmental factors, ie global warming, soil salinization …

Land capability classification systems define and communicate biophysical limitations on
land use, including climate, soils and topography. They can therefore provide an accessible …
