This book focuses on various tropical fruit tree species management for climate change including mitigation strategies and technological countermeasures taken by researchers, progressive growers and commercial companies to overcome the adverse changes. It can be considered as a unique source emphasizing the fruit species solitary not by subject as usual to enable readers reaching directly to their crop of interest. The content includes genetic resources conservation, remote sensing and environmental certification. Increasing attention of the society toward information and measures taken by various stakeholders about climate change risks and threats makes this book very timely.

Key points covered:

Provides a contemporary view of the impact of climate change on cultivation of individual fruit species
Offers modern approaches for mitigating the adverse impact of climate change on fruits cultivation
Describes research progress of understanding and combating the impact of climate change on fruits production
Illustrates presented concepts with relevant figures and tabulated data
