In last two decades of 20.th. Century, accelerated anthropogenic activities pushed up the atmospheric abundance of greenhouse gases, mainly CO.2,. CH.4., and N.2.O, alarmingly which enhanced the radiative forcing of the Earth’s surface and thus perturbed its heat radiation balance. As a consequence, atmospheric characteristics, such as temperature, rainfall pattern, levels of CO.2 .and O.3 .have changed significantly, affecting the farm productivity. Although rising level of CO.2 .may have fertilizing effect on C.3 .crops, but concomitant rise in atmospheric temperature, O.3. level and extreme weather conditions can not only nullify the fertilizing effect of CO.2, .but also drastically reduce the crop production, threatening food security to burgeoning world population. Agricultural crops are not only victim of climate variability and extreme whether conditions, but also serve as a potential source of CH.4. and N.2.O...Therefore, in changed scenario, Kyoto Protocol (1997) has sought all signatory developed nations to cut down their emission levels as per their diff | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | Global warming; Greenhouse; Greenhouse gas; Kyoto Protocol; Oxide; adaptation; climate change; crops; temper | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-88246-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-09998-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-88246-6Series ISSN 1863-5520 Series E-ISSN 1863-5539 | issn_series | 1863-5520 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009 |
