Agroecosystems in a changing climate
The book brings together theoretical contributions from ecologists and the applied interpretations of agriculturalists. Combining the 2 approaches, it provides the theoretical underpinning that guides scientists on what phenomena to look for beyond first-order responses in the creation of sustainable agroecosystems. This unique approach provides an interpretation of ecological insights and relates them to agroecosystem performance. The authors cover the supply of resources necessary to sustain agriculture in the future and discuss the incidence of pests, weeds, diseases and their control. They provide an understanding of how the population biology of organisms will change and their possible adaptation. Also plant breeding solutions and the capacity for adaptation that exists in plant populations are explored. It includes special example chapters.
