Impact of Climate Change on Cereal Crop Production: Challenges and Adaptive Strategies
摘要
This chapter explores the effects of climate change on major cereal crops, including wheat, maize, and rice. Fluctuations in temperature, increased frequency of flooding, and rising global temperatures are shown to negatively impact crop growth, productivity, and resilience, leading to reduced yields and heightened susceptibility to pests and diseases. A comprehensive review of recent literature highlights the substantial influence of climate change on cereal crop systems. In response to these challenges, the chapter discusses a range of adaptive strategies such as optimized irrigation methods, improved nutrient management, advanced breeding approaches, and sustainable agronomic practices. These interventions are critical for sustaining cereal crop production under evolving climatic conditions.
