  • First Online:
Crop Responses to Global Warming

Abstract

The temperature of the earth is exponentially rising with an increase by 0.2 °C per decade. It is predicted that the increase in earth’s temperature will range between 1.8 and 4.0 °C in 2100 than that of the current value. Rising temperature has become a major concern for crop production. The exponential rise in the concentration of greenhouse gases is considered to be the main cause of global warming (Meehl et al. 2007).
