Abstract: Water
Scarcity and Sustainable Agriculture in Semiarid Environment: Tools, Strategies
and Challenges for Woody Crops explores the complex relationship between
water scarcity and climate change, agricultural water-use efficiency,
crop-water stress management and modeling water scarcity in woody crops.
Understanding these cause- and effect relationships and identifying the most
appropriate responses are critical for sustainable crop production. The book
focuses on Mediterranean environments to explain how to determine the most
appropriate strategy and implement an effective plan; however, core concepts
are translational to other regions. Informative for those working in
agricultural water management, irrigation and drainage, crop physiology and
sustainable agriculture.
