If the predictions of atmospheric scientists on global warming - the so-called "greenhouse effect" - are realized, the mean change in temperature of the earth's surface will rise by several degrees, a warming that is likely to trigger a series of changes affecting the hydrologic regimes of entire regions. This book analyzes and attempts to clarify the nature of predictable changes and their potential biophysical impacts. Its aim is to educate students and professionals on how the climatic factors affecting agriculture may be modified in the future and what practical adaptations might be undertaken to prevent or overcome any adverse impacts on world agriculture.
