Editat de Santanu Kumar Bal, Joydeep Mukherjee, Burhan Uddin Choudhury, Ashok Kumar Dhawan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 noi 2018

Bazându-ne pe datele furnizate de Springer Nature Singapore, volumul Advances in Crop Environment Interaction reprezintă o analiză tehnică riguroasă a modului în care agricultura contemporană se recalibrează în fața variabilității climatice. Considerăm că această primă ediție din 2018 este esențială pentru înțelegerea continuumului sol-plantă-mediu, oferind o perspectivă integrată asupra mecanismelor de adaptare care, deși sporesc reziliența, afectează adesea productivitatea netă.

Descoperim aici o structură organizată progresiv în patru părți fundamentale. Prima secțiune se concentrează pe biogeochimia sistemelor agricole, cu accent pe dinamica carbonului și monitorizarea fluxurilor de gaze cu efect de seră. Partea a doua explorează intervențiile de management, precum exploatarea mediului foto-termic și gestionarea stresului termic în culturile de câmp. Lucrarea continuă cu analiza interacțiunilor insectă-dăunător sub presiunea schimbărilor climatice și se încheie cu o prezentare a metodologiilor moderne de diagnostic, inclusiv indicii spectrali de stres și teledetecția.

Advances in Crop Environment Interaction completează perspectiva oferită de Climate Change Impacts on Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum, adăugând o componentă practică robustă prin capitolele dedicate indicatorilor de sănătate a solului și strategiilor specifice pentru agro-ecosistemele insulare. În timp ce alte lucrări se limitează la fiziologia plantei, acest volum integrează tehnologia modelării culturilor pentru a anticipa răspunsurile agro-sistemelor la scenarii climatice viitoare. Tonul este unul academic, precis, axat pe date experimentale și studii de caz, fiind un instrument de lucru util pentru cercetătorii care caută soluții de atenuare a degradării resurselor naturale.

Descriere scurtă

Agriculture is currently facing multi-faceted threats in the form of unpredictable weather variability, frequent droughts and scarcity of irrigation water, together with the degradation of soil resources and declining environmental health. These stresses result in the modification of plant physiology to impart greater resilience to changing abiotic and biotic environments, but only at the cost of declining plant productivity. In light of these facts, assessing the status of natural resource bases, and understanding the mechanisms of soil-plant-environment interactions so as to devise adaptation and mitigation approaches, represent great and imminent challenges for all of us. In this context, it is essential to understand the potential applications of modern tools, existing coping mechanisms and their integration, as this will allow us to develop suitable advanced mitigation strategies. 
From a broader perspective, the book deals with crop-environment interaction in thecontext of changing climatic conditions. To do so, it addresses four major aspects: 
Understanding the mechanism of carbon dynamics in the soil-plant-environment continuum; greenhouse gas fluxes in agricultural systems; and soil properties influenced by climate change and carbon sequestration processes.
Mitigation and management of the photo-thermal environment to improve crop productivity; soil health under variable climate; reducing agro-ecosystem evapotranspiration losses through biophysical controls; and heat stress in field crops and its management.
Studying the impact of climate change on biotic environments; insect-pest interactions; manifestations of disease; and adaptation strategies for island agro-ecosystems.
Innovative approaches to assess stress impacts in crops, such as crop modeling, remote sensing, spectral stress indices etc. 
The book presents a collection of contributions from authoritative experts in their respective fields. Offering young researchers new perspectives and future research directions, it represents a valuable guide for graduate students and academics alike.
