Global warming has led to climate change which in turn has led to frequent occurrence of floods, droughts, and cold and heat waves, affecting the productivity of food grain in a large measure. This book studies the effects of regional climate change on the agriculture sector in different states of India. The book also discusses the impact of global warming on the agriculture sector across the world and describes in particular how climate change/variability is affecting rainfall, temperature and land in various states of India. It also suggests adaptation techniques which can be evolved to neutralize the adverse effects of climate change. Besides, the text explains the need for weather risk management, agromet advisory services, weather insurance, and the principles and practices of integrated watershed management through a consortium of approaches for mitigating the adverse impact of climate change in the semi-arid tropics. This book, with contributions from experts in the field and edited by academics who are authority on the subject, should prove to be extremely useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Agriculture, planners, policy makers and administrators.
A comprehensive update of this popular and practical introduction to mangrove and seagrass biology providing a concise and affordable overview.
The three-volume sets constitute the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Knowledge Science, Engineering and Management, KSEM 2022, held in Singapore, during August 6–8, 2022.

The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Volume I:Knowledge Science with Learning and AI (KSLA) Volume II:Knowledge Engineering Research and Applications (KERA) Volume III:Knowledge Management with Optimization and Security (KMOS)
This book gathers selected papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Computing, Communications and Data Engineering, held at Sri Padmavati Mahila Visvavidyalayam, Tirupati, India from 1 to 2 Feb 2019. Chiefly discussing major issues and challenges in data engineering systems and computer communications, the topics covered include wireless systems and IoT, machine learning, optimization, control, statistics, and social computing.
Halophytes, salt-tolerant plants that grow in soils and waters with high salinity , are spectacular plants that can prove tremendously valuable to both man as well as nature due to their unique physiology , such as to enhance the productivity of crops in salt-affected soils, for land re-vegetation, to develop salt-tolerant crops, and to provide forage for cattle. This new book presents scientific knowledge and expertise on the mechanisms of plant responses to various environmental stresses, providing a systematic review of the physiological responses of halophytes to salinity , discussing adaptive pathways of halophytes and the prospects of increasing plant salinity tolerance.
This book addresses a broad range of problems commonly encountered in the fields of financial analysis, logistics and supply chain management, such as the use of big data analytics in the banking sector. Divided into twenty chapters, some of the contemporary topics discussed in the book are co-operative/non-cooperative supply chain models for imperfect quality items with trade-credit financing; a non-dominated sorting water cycle algorithm for the cardinality constrained portfolio problem; and determining initial, basic and feasible solutions for transportation problems by means of the “supply demand reparation method” and “continuous allocation method.” In addition, the book delves ...
