    Abstract: This book highlights the likely impacts of climate change in terms of global and national water securities, how different countries are attempting to address these complex problems and to what extent they are likely to succeed. A major global concern at present, especially after the social and economic havoc that has been caused by COVID-19 in only one year, is how we can return to earlier levels of economic development patterns and then further improve the process so that sustainable development goals are reached to the extent possible by 2030, in both developed and developing countries. Mankind is now facing two existential problems over the next several decades. These are climate change and whether the world will have access to enough water to meet all its food, energy, environment and health needs. Much of expected climate change impacts can be seen through the lens of extreme hydrological events, like droughts, floods and other extreme hydrometeorological events.

    Keywords: Agriculture. ; Bioclimatology. ; Climatology. ; Human ecology Study and teaching. ; Agriculture. ; Climate Change Ecology. ; Climate Sciences. ; Environmental Studies.
    Description / Table of Contents: Preface -- About the Authors -- Chapter 1 Agricultural Meteorology: A Preview -- Chapter 2 Atmospheric Temperature -- Chapter 3 Atmospheric Pressure and Solar Radiation -- Chapter 4 Atmospheric Humidity -- Chapter 5 Microclimate and Climatic Normals -- Chapter 6 Weather Disasters and Management, Air Pollution and Role of Meteorology -- Chapter 7 Weather Forecasting -- Chapter 8 Climate Change Impact on Plants -- Chapter 9 Climate Change Effect on Fruit Production -- Chapter 10 Climate change Effect on Forests.
    Abstract: The monograph focuses on agricultural meteorology and climate change and its impacts on different crops. Comprising of chapters from experts, the book discusses and provides first-hand information to the long term shifts in weather patterns and temperature impacting soil, water and crops. Each chapter focuses in detail on the impact of plant- water – soil nexus and climate change on agriculture and food security. Covering the basic concepts about the temperature, pressure and humidity correlation with the increased demands of food, the book explores in detail the impact of adverse climatic conditions like drought, floods, increasing levels of carbon dioxide emissions and other simultaneous effects like soil fertility depletion on the cropping systems and overall crop productivity. The book touches the challenges of climate change, adaptive methods, mitigation strategies, with careful explanation of governance, plans and policies required to provide guidelines to stake holders so they can best prepare for the negative climate change impacts. While touching the agricultural challenges faced globally due to climate change, the book serves as a reference book for students, researchers and policy makers, involved in horticulture, agriculture and environmental sciences and climate change.
