Global Environmental Change: Challenges to Science and Society in Southeastern Europe
Selected papers from the International Conference "Global Environmental Change: Challenges for Science and Society in South-Eastern Europe" held 19-21 May 2008 in Sofia, Bulgaria. Covers changes in climate, land use, carbon and water cycles, air quality, etc.
Seasonal Climate: Forecasting and Managing Risk
Originally formed around a set of lectures presented at a NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI), this book has grown to become organised and presented rather more as a textbook than as a standard "collection of proceedings". This therefore is the first unified reference ‘textbook’ in seasonal to interannual climate predictions and their practical uses. Written by some of the world’s leading experts, the book covers a rapidly-developing science of prime social concern.
Climate and Land Degradation
Based on an International Workshop held in Arusha, Tanzania, this book presents state-of-the-art papers, real world applications, and innovative techniques for combating land degradation. It offers recommendations for effectively using weather and climate information for sustainable land management practices.
Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability
Some issues addressed in this Working Group III volume are mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, managing biological carbon reservoirs, geo-engineering, costing methods, and decision-making frameworks.
Ecological Responses and Adaptations of Crops to Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
The impact of rising levels of greenhouse gases—and the global consequences for crops! Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas that causes global warming and directly impacts every aspect of plant life and indirectly impacts animal and human life. Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have risen dramatically over the past century, and though this could mean opportunities for better growth and increased yield of certain crops, other factors like weather extremes and changes to plant physiology may mitigate the positive effects. Ecological Responses and Adaptations of Crops to Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide comprehensively analyzes every aspect of crop responses to increasing carbon dioxide ...
Climate Prediction and Agriculture
Based on an International Workshop held in Geneva in 2005, this book reviews the advances made so far in seasonal climate predictions and their applications for management and decision-making in agriculture. It also identifies the challenges to be addressed in the next 5 to 10 years to further enhance operational applications of climate predictions in agriculture, especially in developing countries.
Climate Variability, Modeling Tools and Agricultural Decision-making
New policies must be adopted under climate change conditions to secure sustainability of agricultural crop production. Despite the proved reliability of present climate and crop-growth modelling tools for climate risk assessments, they have been not been noticeably applied for supporting agricultural decision-making in practice. The EU proposal AGRIDEMA provided initial contacts and collaborations between "developers" and potential "users", basically researchers and experts at agricultural services. This book reviews the AGRIDEMA results. The book is designed to introduce the currently-available climate and crop-growth models, to summarise their potentialities as tools to provide reliable Climate-Change adaptation options in agriculture and to show several examples of the combined use such tools in specific climate-change agricultural risks in several countries.
