Advances in Environmental Modeling and Measurements

Regardless of the word 'balance' being used either globally or locally in any given context, it is undoubtedly the keyword in the increasing number of environmental problems. This book covers the complex field of fundamental scientific methodologies, modelling and measurements in environmental and linking sciences.

The third part is devoted to climate change impacts and adaptation options of vulnerable agriculture in different aspects, prediction of plant diseases appearance as well as spatial climatic analogy and adaptive knowledge transfer.
