Books in the CABI Climate Change Series series

This book addresses the current state of climate change predictions, and how climate change will affect conservation and use of crop germplasm, both ex situ and in situ. Examples of germplasm research related to 'climate change threats' are also highlighted.

In a changing climate, livestock production must adapt in order to meet the challenge of food security. This book approaches the issues of livestock production and climate change by addressing issues such feed quality and availability, abiotic stresses, livestock generated pollution, species diversity, reproduction and amelioration of methane.

The book provides an analysis of impacts of climate change on water for agriculture, and the adaptation strategies in water management to deal with these impacts. Chapters include an assessment at global level, with details on impacts in various countries.

This book emphasises the importance of farm-level adaptation in mitigating against the risks of climate change in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. It highlights the key issues that arise in farm-level impacts, adaptation and vulnerability, and discusses the methodological approaches undertaken in Asia and Africa

This book reviews the influence of climate change on urban and public pests such as mosquitoes, flies, termites, rodents and others, with respect to population, distribution, disease, damage and control.

The first volume in the CABI Climate Change Series, this book provides an overview of the essential disciplines required for sustainable crop production in unpredictable environments.

It is anticipated that the damage to crops and forests by insects will increase as a consequence of climate change. However, the evidence in support of this is sparse. This book sums up present knowledge regarding both agricultural and forest insect pests and climate change in order to identify future research directions.
