Contents

The vulnerability of actual agroecosystems presents a pressing need to evaluate the consequences of climate change and variability. In terms of adaptation of agricultural production, it becomes imperative to develop and implement management measures that ensure the sustainability of these systems. Additionally, enhancing the resilience of agroecosystems is crucial to enable their ability to respond, reorganize, and preserve their fundamental functions, identity, and structure, while concurrently augmenting their adaptive capacity. Moreover, from a mitigation perspective, it is essential to establish agroecosystems that effectively minimize or offset greenhouse gas emissions.

This Special Issue on “challenges and opportunities for adaptations and mitigations of the agricultural sector to climate change and variability” of the journal Agrociencia Uruguay (http://agrocienciauruguay.uy/) is designed to highlight the contribution of science to the development of the adaptation and mitigation of the agricultural sector in a changing climate.

 

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  1. Assessing climate change and variability
  2. Impact of climate change and variability on annual and perennial crops
  3. Impact of climate change and variability on animal production
  4. Strategy for adapting and mitigating agrosystems to climate change
