Explore how climate shapes the growth and distribution of our staple crops and what it means for farmers today.
This book offers a concise look at the links between weather, environment, and agricultural yield, presenting a careful synthesis of what was known at the time and how to build on it.
The author lays out three complementary ways to study climates and crops: physiological insight into plant growth, experimental trials at stations and laboratories, and statistical comparisons of harvests with climate data. It presents a practical framework for connecting observations across sources, with an eye toward guiding future inquiry and real-world farming needs. The work is framed as an introduction to a larger, ongoing exploration of how climate affects crops."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
