{"product_id":"9781771880312","title":"Climate Dynamics in Horticultural Science, Volume One: The Principles and Applications","description":"\u003cp\u003eClimate change and increased climate variability in terms of rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and increasing extreme weather events, such as severe drought and devastating floods, pose a threat to the production of agricultural and horticultural crops—a threat this is expected to worsen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClimate change is already affecting—and is likely to increase—invasive species, pests, and disease vectors, all adversely affecting agri-horticultural crop productivity. Advances in agricultural knowledge, science, and technology will be required to develop improved crop traits, such as temperature, drought, pest, and salt tolerance. This two-volume set gives readers an understanding of the issues and makes suggestions for ways to mitigate adverse climate change effects on crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe focus of \u003cb\u003eVolume 1: The Principles and Applications in Horticultural Science\u003c\/b\u003e is to identify impacts and suggest appropriate and effective adaptation and mitigation strategies. \u003cb\u003eVolume 2: Impact, Adaptation, and Mitigation\u003c\/b\u003e focuses on the impact of climate change on horticultural crops and offers ways to adapt practices to mitigate adverse effects. Together, the two volumes offer a diverse selection of chapters that address issues of importance to those in the horticulture industry, researchers, faculty, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe books are an excellent resource for researchers; instructors; students in agriculture, horticulture, environmental science, and other allied subjects; and policymakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apple Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49789462282480,"sku":"9781771880312","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771880312","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
