The greenhouse effect will probably have a profound impact on agriculture and ecology through the expected climatic warming and growth stimulating physiological effects of increased carbon dioxide. This book presents the edited proceedings of a workshop on this theme. A selection of topics covered include: climatic change and future crop suitability in Europe, vernalization and climate change, influence of climatic change on soil quality, the combined effect of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and UV-B radiation on some agricultural and salt marsh species, and climate change and agricultural policy-making.
