Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change results in new agro-ecological environments worldwide, with increasing risk for production safety in many regions. This Special Issue, “Effects of Climate Change on Dry Farming Systems”, aims to publish research articles that contribute to a better understanding of the interactions of agro-climatic conditions, water balance in soil, and the adaptation of crops. Studies both at global and regional scales are welcome. The focus is on crop production and horticulture under extreme weather conditions such as drought and heat stress. We are especially interested in papers covering modeling trends, identifying critical points that must be addressed in the short- and mid-term, predicting future scenarios using different models, and assessing management alternatives (e.g., potential technological solutions and dry farming) to decrease vulnerability, and to maintain or improve crop productivity. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.
