Climate Change Dimensions and Mitigation Strategies for Agricultural Sustainability Vol 1

This edited book on ‘Climate Change Dimensions and Mitigation Strategies for Agricultural Sustainability’, serves as a broad, accessible guide to the science and aids in upcoming future spectre in the perspective of climate change by providing scientific details and evidence in scientific literature that is clear to both the climatologist and the non-specialist. This book deals with the thematic areas on all scientific aspects of climate change. Goal of editing this book is to give overall exhaustive idea to the readers on climate change dimensions and its mitigation and adaptation in the agriculture sector. The book may make connections between the various topics like climatic indicators, leading to new mitigation as well as adaptation strategies to combat climate change and allied issues. The book also contains major references and details for further scope of research and simple understanding on all issues related to climate change, giving a clear indication of a looming crisis in global warming and climate change. The book is divided into two volumes. The volume I present the scholarly work on understandings of indicators of Climate change; drought characteristics for water resources planning and management; mulches for enhancing agricultural productivity; influence of nitrogen and irrigation levels on methane gas emission; greenhouse gases and its mitigation approach; soil physio-chemical and microbial dynamics; greenhouse gas impact on ecosystem; carbon sequestration and farming system; role of microorganisms in climatic change; green house gases emission and fertilizer management; nanotechnology; silicon regulation for induction of defence response; remote sensing based agricultural drought monitoring; and remote sensing and GIS in management of recurrent flood prone crop land.
