Global Climate Change, Stress and Plant Productivity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Abiotic Stress Adaptation in Plants

Summary

Global climate change, rated as the most serious threat to the environment, has been the center of debate among environmentalists and policy makers as it has become not only an environmental, a political and an economic issue, but also a global problem, of which agriculture is the major target. At the plant or field scale, climate change is likely to interact with rising CO2 concentrations and other environmental changes such as temperature, precipitation (associated with changes in tropo-, as well as stratospheric ozone levels) and UV-B radiation to affect crop physiology. The present chapter reviews the potential changes in plant physiological processes caused by these factors.
