Furthermore, the ability to develop effective adaptive strategies which allow these cultivars to express their genetic potential under changing climate conditions will be essential. In turn, the book investigates those plant species which are very closely related to field crops and have the potential to contribute beneficial traits for crop improvement, e.g. resistance to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses, enriching the gene pool, and ultimately leading to enhanced plant yield, known as ?Crop Wild Relatives? (CWRs). CWRs hold tremendous potential to sustain and enhance global food security, contributing to human well-being. Accordingly, their development, characterization and conservation in crop breeding programs have assumed great practical importance. Professor Kodoth Prabhakaran Nair is an internationally acclaimed agricultural scientist, with over three decades of experience in Europe, Africa and Asia, holding some of the most prestigious academic positions, including the National Chair of the Science Foundation, The Royal Society, Belgium. A Senior Fellow of the world renowned Alexander von Humboldt Research Foundation of The Federal Republic of Germany, he is best known, globally, for having developed a revolutionary soil management technique, known as "The Nutrient Buffer Power Concept", which, while questioning the scientific fallacies of the highly soil extractive farming, euphemistically known as the "green revolution", has opened up an alternative path for sensible and scientific soil management . 410 0$aSpringer Climate,$x2352-0698 606 $aClimate change 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant science 606 $aBotany 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aPlant Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aPlant science. 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aClimate Change. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPlant Sciences. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a363.73874 676 $a551.52 700 $aNair$b Kodoth Prabhakaran$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0888499 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341855603321 996 $aCombating Global Warming$92239825 997 $aUNINA
