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\u003eThe two-volume set: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Provides a recent understanding about climate change effects on horticulture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Covers unique information regarding important fruit crops, including flowers, spices, and plantation crops\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Serves as an excellent source for researchers to formulate their adaptation and mitigation strategies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Covers abiotic and biotic stresses in relation to climate change \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Presents environmentally safe and recent technological approaches such as nanotechnology and biodynamics \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Includes case studies\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
