Writing a literature review on climate change and agriculture can be a daunting task.

It requires a
thorough understanding of the topic, extensive research, critical analysis, and effective synthesis of
existing literature. Here are some reasons why it can be challenging:

1. Vast amount of literature: Climate change and agriculture are complex subjects with a wide
range of research conducted in various disciplines. Sorting through the extensive literature
can be overwhelming.
2. Interdisciplinary nature: The topic intersects with multiple disciplines such as
environmental science, agronomy, economics, sociology, and more. Integrating findings from
diverse fields requires careful consideration and expertise.
3. Keeping up with current research: Climate change is a rapidly evolving field with new
studies and findings emerging frequently. Staying updated with the latest research adds
another layer of complexity to the literature review process.
4. Ensuring comprehensiveness: A literature review aims to provide a comprehensive
overview of existing research while identifying gaps and areas for further investigation.
Achieving this balance requires meticulous planning and execution.
5. Critical analysis and synthesis: Simply summarizing existing literature is not sufficient. A
literature review should critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of various studies
and synthesize them to develop new insights or perspectives.

Climate change is likely to directly impact food production across the globe. The agro-climate
calendar provides 1) the frequency of damage caused by climate factors for a crop in the current
climate at a specific location and 2) the expected shift in the frequency of damage causing climate
factors. In particular, there is a lack of experiments in which both the crop yields and the water
management in the unsaturated soil zone was measured through the course of time. Aminoglycoside

supplementary irrigation, e.g. by establishing tube wells, by cultivating short-cycled cash crop
instead of rice, and by substituting annual crops by fruit orchards. Sugars and organic acids present
in the root exudates serve as growth factors and mediate antifungal activities in certain microbes (
Khan et al., 2018a ). Citric acid and fumaric acid present in root exudates attract microbes and help
in biofilm formation ( Neal et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2014 ). Flavonoids present in root exudates act
as an important signal for nodule formation by inducing bacterial nod genes. New policy driven
options are required to address the emerging challenges of attaining improved food security. KEITH
YAMAMOTO, Chair, University of California, San Francisco. Many of these technologies are not
new to agricultural production practices, but they are implemented based on the assessment of
current and possible future impacts of climate change in a particular location. You can download the

and the linkages of climate change and its impacts on agricultural production are explained. These
changes can dramatically affect agriculture systems, decreasing crop productivity, harming farmers’
livelihoods and threatening global food security. The KNMI will formulate n ew climate scenarios in
2013. For instance, extreme whether conditions, diseases and plagues are fairly easy to map in this
way. Sea level rise includes flooding and salinization and has implications for water resources.

Supply. It provides a broad account of both the bio-physical impact of climate change on agriculture,
and its economic and social consequences.The economic impact of climate change, particularly for
less-developed countries and especially in sectors like agriculture, is of paramount importance. How
the climate changes largely depends on the temperature increase across the globe and on the changes
in air flow patterns in our environment (Western Europe) and on the accompanying changes in wind
speed and possibly, changes in wind direction. This minimizes the oxidative stresses but improves
osmoregulation. The application of biostimulants in very small amounts could have the potential to
induce resistance against stresses, and this quality of biostimulants makes this class different from
applications of fertilizers and manures to soil. Correlating LC-MS metabolite profiling with operation
taxonomic unit (OUT) sequencing data showed that benzoxazinoid stimulates the abundance of
Methylophilaceae bacteria while repressing the abundance of Xanthomonadaceae bacteria.
Nanotechnologies and Phytoremediation: Pros and Cons.
Soil organic matter is one of the most important factors for measuring the efficiency of soil. This
chemical communication results in the formation of improved plant growth and stress resistance and
also improves the soil structure and porosity under saline conditions. RANDALL MURCH, Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University, Alexandria. In this version, water damage (root and soil
problems) is a function of oxygen stress and therefore based on process knowledge. The strain P6
inhibited the virulence caused by pathogens through secretions of AHLs. The potential yield can be
increased by improving the varietal purity (plant breeding) and by adjusting the sowing date. Iron
(Fe) is an important metal activator (co-factor) of different antioxidant enzymes ( Kumar et al., 2010;
Sharma et al., 2012 ), which helps in regulating life sustaining processes in plants, i.e., photosynthesis
and chloroplast biosynthesis. They increased the availability of essential nutrients K and Ca,
enhanced Fe and Zn in the rhizosphere soil, and enhanced the uptake by roots and its translocation to
leaves and grain. Most climate impacts of concern to policy-makers are local. No part of this

Strategies. All authors contributed to the article and approved the submitted version. Increase in the
mean seasonal temperature can reduce the duration of many crops and hence reduce the yield. This
aggravates the effects of unstable environmental conditions, an inactivating governance and policy
context and unproductive agricultural markets that are already harming the agriculture-based
communities in the Central Dry Zone of Myanmar. (Mercy Corps, 2015). High rates of evapo-
transpiration results in accumulation of salt on the soil surface ( Ashraf et al., 2002; Munns, 2002 ). A
road map for further agricultural research is proposed, based on the CGIAR Research Program on
Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security. At the same time, numerous references and

However, selection of the best microbe which proliferates well and improves resistance to abiotic
stresses should be the first priority. In broad strokes, the following conclusions were drawn. It was
demonstrated in a study that the spraying of leaf spot pathogen of tomato ( P. Authored by experts

Pipecolic acid was detected under a simultaneous inoculation of plants with beneficial microbes that
induced systemic acquired resistance (SAR). This paper discusses probable impacts of climate
change on agriculture. JZ38 produce indole and sulfur VOCs which possess volatile mediated
antagonistic activity against Phytophthora infestans in plate assay and also act as growth inducer by
promoting root and shoot biomass in Arabidopsis thaliana under contact assay ( Eida et al., 2020 ).
Due to the difference in AHLs structure, plant response also varies. The depressions on moisture
shortages are determined based on modelling the moisture conditions in the unsaturated zone (model
LAMOS). The tables do not take business economic aspects or business management into account.

It marks the second in a series of three working group reports that together make up the Fifth
Assessment report (AR5) from the IPCC. KENNETH H. KELLER, University of Minnesota,
Minneapolis. Forecasts for changes in precipitation patterns for coastal areas are different to forecasts
for the interior. It has a synergetic effect on the production of other computable solutes under
induced salt stress. Insights described above and possible new insights, including spatial
differentiation, will be included in the new scenarios. Some of the services in the site are currently

Assessment Product 4.3 (SAP 4.3) prospectus, this chapter will specifically address climate- related
issues in cropping systems, pasture and grazing lands, and animal management. Myc-LCOs have a
role in AMF symbiotic association with plants. The Department of Meteorology and Hydrology
(DMH) of Myanmar warns that the drought hazard in the Dry Zone will become probably more
severe in the coming century (Dai, 2012). Although there is a large literature exploring the many

committee members and their biographies. The consequences of agriculture’s contribution to climate
change, and of climate change’s negative impact on agriculture, are severe which is projected to have
a great impact on food production and may threaten the food security and hence, require special
agricultural measures to combat with. However, in several countries in Africa such as Burkina Faso,
Cameroon, Ghana, South Africa or Zambia, a third of farmers do not change their agricultural
practices yet, while most farmers in Egypt and Ethiopia have carried out at least one adaptation
strategy (David Maddison, 2007). Authored by experts within our association and guest contributors,

Climate for Spatial Planning Research-A21. JONATHAN D. MORENO, University of Pennsylvania
Health System, Philadelphia. Our aim is to bring you news, perspectives and knowledge to prepare
you to change the world. The higher soil salt levels may derive water back from plant roots towards
the soil and can cause reduced productivity or even death of crop plants. In phase 3, the agricultural
situation is researched in greater detail in various areas. This audacious consortium provides global

Climate is changing at a very faster rate resulting in increase in temperature, melting of ice, rise in sea
level, extreme weather conditions etc. Generally, when produced by the NRC, the content of such.
Recent studies have shown that increased level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere greatly reduces
soil organic matter by increasing the soil microbial activity. It has been compiled based on a literature
review of key publications, journal articles, and e-platforms, and by drawing on documented
experiences sourced from a range of organisations working on projects and programmes concerned
with climate change adaptation technologies in the agriculture sector. Although the perceptions are
not necessarily consistent with measurable reality, they are considered to adequately reflect real
challenges (Kusakari et al., 2014). However, misconceptions about climate change and its associated
risks may result in no adaptation or maladaptation, thus increasing the negative impact of climate
change (Grothmann and Patt 2005). Average annual rainfall in the CDZ is slightly decreasing to 765
mm in 2007, having - 17.35 mm lower than normal during 1991-2000 (Tun, W., 2012). One study
has shown that clay size and organic matter, which decrease in response to increased soil
temperature, lead to reduced cation exchange capacity (CEC) ( Certini, 2005 ). This includes
warming, cooling, and changes besides temperature, such as changes in atmospheric circulation or
seasonal precipitation patterns. All articles published by MDPI are made immediately available

changes for grassland and arable land, the tables provide long standing averages on yield depressions
owing to moisture shortage or moisture excess. This perception of climate change impacts drives
them to boost their current production by increasing input use to guard against future adverse
impacts from climate change (Makate et al., 2017). In the Sudano-Sahelian region of West Africa,
where a decrease in rainfall is very likely, according to the national statistics climate also may not be
the most significant driver of change in the future, and the climate change awareness of farmers even
decreases (Mertz et al., 2011, p. 104-108). Moreover, higher salinity and temperatures have been
observed to affect the physiological responses of crops in several ways, such as by inhibiting
photosynthesis and stomata closure, reducing water content and osmotic potential and triggering
nutrient imbalances and osmolyte changes ( Supplementary Table S1 ). Journal of Cardiovascular
Development and Disease (JCDD). Copper toxicity has been reported to affect seedlings in
sunflower crops by inducing the generation of reactive oxygen species and lowering the activity of
catalase. In areas of intensive horticulture, the financial damage could turn out to be considerable.
Proline is the most studied osmolyte under salt stress, which has been reported in plants inoculated
with PGPR. Thus, cutin monomers act as a plant signal for the formation of hyphopodium. However,
in several countries in Africa such as Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, South Africa or Zambia, a
third of farmers do not change their agricultural practices yet, while most farmers in Egypt and
Ethiopia have carried out at least one adaptation strategy (David Maddison, 2007). Table 3, taken
from this calendar, provides possible adaptation strategies for winter wheat to mitigate or prevent
damage due to climate risks. Many potential adaptation options in agriculture have mitigation
synergies, and similarly, several mitigation options for climate change could generate significant
benefits for both food security and adaptation. This audacious consortium provides global nutrition
while also curbing the escalating climate crisis. Volatile compounds (VOCs) are another class of
molecules present in extracellular products of microbes that modulate plant growth and maintain soil
health ( Figure 5 ). Therefore, the following research questions need to be addressed. Examples of
halophytes include Atriplex spp., Aegiceras corniculatum, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Chenopodium
album, Plantago media, Rhizophora mucronata, Suaeda australis, and Salsola vermiculata ( Qadir et
al., 2007; Hasanuzzaman et al., 2014 ). Phytoremediation has certain limitations in sustainable
agricultural productivity, as it changes the microbial community, and takes several growing seasons
to remediate polluted soil. The mitigation strategies to offset the climate-induced deleterious impact
on agricultural productivity, such as biochar and biostimulants, have potential to significantly
minimize the unfavorable impact without compromising environmental sustainability. Climate change
adaptation strategies are now a matter of urgency. In high latitude areas with low temperature,
increased temperature due to climate change could allow for longer growing season. While trying to
illustrate the broad range of impacts, the committee also highlighted a few. For example, increased
pressure from vermin (pests) and disease owing to higher temperatures were already observed in the
relatively warm period 1989-2004.
Aminoglycoside is a low molecular weight antibiotic and pyocyanin is a pigment producing molecule
secreted by P. Salinity causes various physiological impairments in plants; due to less stomatal
conductivity, C-fixation capacity becomes limited, disturbing the catalytic activities of enzymes that
fix C and destroy photosynthetic pigments ( Omoto et al., 2012 ). A significant decrease in shoot
and root biomass has been recorded in plants grown in saline soil ( Kalhoro et al., 2016; Genc et al.,
2019 ). The rapid increase in crop yield in the last 50 years can largely be attributed to crop
management. Two such innovative solutions gaining immense attention are biochar and
biostimulants. International Journal of Translational Medicine (IJTM). Many potential adaptation
options in agriculture have mitigation synergies, and similarly, several mitigation options for climate
change could generate significant benefits for both food security and adaptation. Enhancing crop
production to meet rising demands owing to the increasing population, against the background of the
threats of climate change, is a challenging task. Housing infrastructure are susceptible to the strong
wind and floods especially in the area along the river banks (United Nations Human Settlements
Programme, 2016). The panel will cap the project with a synthesis report this October. JONATHAN
D. MORENO, University of Pennsylvania Health System, Philadelphia. We believe strongly that we
can and must do things differently. Although excess CO 2 promotes growth of C 3 plants, high
temperatures reduce the yield of important agricultural crops due to high evapotranspiration. If this
process is impeded due to sub-optimal water supply, it creates a growth delay resulting in a yield
depression. AGRICOM, based on the results of a hydrological model, is an agro-economic model
that calculates costs and benefits for the agricultural sector in the Netherlands. Depending on the
physico-chemical properties of biochar, it can offer a sustainable way towards suitable feedstock for
the circular economy paradigm. Next Article in Journal A Novel Bacterial 6-Phytase Improves

Urate, and Crystal Deposition Disease (GUCDD). The objective of this project is to get a more
concrete look, together with stakeholders, at the different climate factors that have an impact on the
quality and yield of different crops and which of these pose a future risk. Since more than 60 per
cent of its agriculture is rainfed and it hosts 33 per cent of the world's poor, climate change will have
significant impacts on the food and nutritional security. He concluded that for each degree increase
in global mean temperature (GMT), the production of wheat has been predicted to reduce by 6.0%,
rice by 3.2%, maize by 7.4%, and soybean by 3.1% around the world. Depending on geographical
regions, the effect of temperature may be positive or negative. The tool does require a certain input
from the user. The overall effect of climate change on agriculture will depend on the balance of these
effects. JONATHAN T. OVERPECK, University of Arizona, Tuscon. Flushing is used to desalinate
soil with surface salt crusts. Examples of organic amendments include farmyard manure, poultry
manure, municipal solid waste compost, and olive mill waste compost ( Ahmad et al., 2006; Tejada et
al., 2006; Lakhdar et al., 2009 ). Application of organic amendments have significant effects in an
area with low rain fall but cause secondary salinization in other areas where rainfall is abundant (
Diacono and Montemurro, 2011 ). You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies.
Robert Twilley, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. Even a small action can make an enormous
difference when millions of people do it. The first two chapters of this book presents historical
evidence of relationship between climate and food security, as well as current challenges of world
food security posed by climate change. This public-private partnership promotes the judicious use of
antibiotics and improves animal welfare. Its geographic scope focuses on developing countries where
high levels of poverty, agricultural production, climate variability and biological diversity intersect.
JZ38 produce indole and sulfur VOCs which possess volatile mediated antagonistic activity against
Phytophthora infestans in plate assay and also act as growth inducer by promoting root and shoot
biomass in Arabidopsis thaliana under contact assay ( Eida et al., 2020 ). Due to the difference in
AHLs structure, plant response also varies. Lower milk production at dairy farms, more power
required for ventilation of stables, more odour problems due to more intensive livestock farming. For
instance, extreme whether conditions, diseases and plagues are fairly easy to map in this way. Based
on existing knowledge, the first model that was completed is an operational version of SWAP, which
calculates damages related to conditions being too dry, too wet and too saline. (Bartholomeus et al.,
2013). Example calculations show that a) long-standing averages can be ascertained, b) annual
averages can be calculated for separate years, so that the differences between separate years are
apparent and c) for extreme weather conditions in a particular year. Accordingly, the NRC convened
a committee of experts to review. Please use a genuine email ID and provide your name. Risks such
as floods and drought are likely to be exacerbated due to change in temperature and rainfall. A
collective approach to exploit the potential of PGPR to alleviate salinity and sodicity has recently
received the attention of modern agriculturalists ( Arora, 2015 ). In addition, the loss of organic
matter due to soil microbial activity and soil erosion results in an increase in soil bulk density, which
in turn increases the soil compaction. Cadmium and cobalt also affect the seed germination process
by causing delays in germination. The above-mentioned insights and possible new insights, including
the spatial differentiation, will be included. Editors select a small number of articles recently
published in the journal that they believe will be particularly. The members of the committee
responsible for the report were. It assists its members and partners by providing loans, technical
