Impact of Climate Change on Plantation Crops

Plantation crops play an important role in the livelihood security of millions of farmers. However, they are predominantly grown in economically and ecologically vulnerable zones. Being perennial in growth pattern, plantation crops are exposed to climatic stresses and experience climate change in their life cycle. Thus, it becomes important to understand the effects of climate change on plantations and develop adaptation strategies. This book summarizes the information on plantation crops in climate change context, apart from providing adaptation options and mitigation potential of plantation crops in lucidly written 15 chapters by the domain experts. It is hoped that this book will be useful to all the stakeholders involved in plantation research, development, extension and policy planning besides students and all those involved in assessing the impacts and developing adaptation and mitigation strategies for improving plantation productivity in changing climates.
