Abstract
As the title of this special issue suggests, the commonality of the papers included herein is a focus on the interaction of agriculture with climate variability and change in the southeastern United States. The range of topics covered is considerable, from climate modeling to remote sensing to economics. All papers result from two major projects funded by NASA MTPE and the U.S. EPA NCQERA. In addition, the USDA-ERS funded part of one study concerning economics of agriculture under climate change.
