In Climate Change and Global Food Security, bestselling editor Rattan Lal heads up a team of the world's top soil scientists and ecologists to document the history of this impending agricultural crisis and explore possible solutions. Throughout this timely text, the authors address six complex themes:
1. The impact of projected climate change on soil quality, water resources, temperature regime, and growing season duration on net primary productivity of different biomes
2. Soil carbon dynamics under changing climate
3. The impact of changes in carbon dioxide and ecological environments on agronomic yields and food production in different regions of the world
4. World food demands and supply during the 21st century
5. Policy and economic issues related to carbon trading and enhancing agricultural production
6. Research and development priorities for enhancing soil carbon pool and food security
This hard-hitting text is essential reading for anyone involved with soil and crop sciences as well as policy makers and change agents who need to come to the forefront of this issue armed with the latest information and viable solutions.

Descriere
Written by a team of top soil scientists and ecologists, this book discusses the impact of projected climate change on soil quality, water resources, temperature regime, and growing season duration on net primary productivity of different biomes. It addresses soil carbon dynamics under changing climate and the impact of changes in carbon dioxide and ecological environments in agronomic yields and food production in different regions of the world. The book explores world food demands and supply during the 21st century, policy and economic issues related to carbon trading and enhancing agricultural production, and research and development priorities for enhancing soil carbon pool and food security.
