The first in the groundbreaking Advances in Agricultural Systems Modeling series, Response of Crops to Limited Water: Understanding and Modeling Water Stress Effects on Plant Growth Processes compiles the work of world experts, systematically presenting recent knowledge of water stress effects, and emphasizing the knowledge synthesis that will move agriculture forward.
Agriculture today requires a whole-system quantitative approach, and farmers need simple management tools derived from robust models. Learn how modeling is addressing crop management in the face of competing water demands, depleted aquifers, drought, and changing plant water requirements due to global warming.
