Finally, this book will be a valuable resource for future plant stress related research with biochar, and can be considered as a reference book for front-line researchers working on sustaining crop production under climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdverse effects   of climate changes on crops has developed the situation quite critical for   sustainable agriculture. Food security has become in danger due to low   production of agricultural crops by resilient climate and ever increasing   human population. Heat, drought, salinity, soil compaction, flooding and poor   soil organic carbon induced stress in crops by climate adverse conditions are   major concerns in this regard. A mechanistic understanding of the   interactions between abiotic stresses response of crops is needed to identify   and take advantage of acclimation traits in major crop species as a   prerequisite for securing robust yield and good quality. This underpins a   need for crops with inherent yield increase, yield stability against multiple   abiotic stresses and improved quality. Individual stress tolerance mechanisms   have been well documented so far. However, mechanisms behind plants’   tolerance by application of biochar and its interactions with soil and plant   roots towards multiple abiotic stresses are not fully understood. \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIn addition,   there will always be some uncertainty associated with modelling the complex   relationships between agricultural yields, product quality with biochar under   future climate scenarios. Prediction of yield and quality stability, one of   mostcomplex agronomic traits, must integrate aspects of plant development,   physiology, biochemistry and genetics. Furthermore, the GxExM interactions   will complicate the model predications, thus the responses of a given   genotype to a defined environment under certain management strategy need to   be determined empirically and used to parameterise and refine crop models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-04-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031269820\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-26983-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 376\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44806884753548,"sku":"9783031269820","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031269820.jpg?v=1779048188","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031269820","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
