About this title

Synopsis

The books deals with the critical issues of climate change and its impact on agriculture and proposes climate smart agriculture as the probable solution to this issue. It discusses the impact of climate change and greenhouse gases emission on agriculture. It covers the strategies and management options of climate smart agriculture by including crop, water, soil, and energy management with examples and case studies. The subject matter has been presented in a very lucid language, containing real-time case studies, questions and few solved problems in specific chapters. The text is further enriched with simple line diagram and figures, chart, flow charts and tables. The book is primarily intended for researchers and professionals in the research areas of environmental science, agriculture, soil science, etc.

Dr Pratap has given a unique concept that lowland rice ecology is a net carbon sink by using advanced eddy covariance techniques. He also identified the acetoclasticand serine pathways are the predominate ones in methanogenesis and methanotrophy, respectively in lowland rice ecologies by using whole genome metagenomic approach. Dr Bhattacharyya is ICAR-National Fellow; Fellow of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, India (FNAAS); Fellow of IASWC; got ICAR-LBS young scientist award; Dr K J Tejwani award on NRM by IASWC; Mosaic Foundation young scientist award on plant nutrition; Certificate of Excellence on Eddy covariance techniques by University of Georgia, USA.
