Summary
Agriculture is vital for the survival of modern civilizations, but soil and climate disturbances increasingly hinder the excellent performance of crops. Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and climate change cause significant crop losses. These stresses often act together and must be studied with greater scientific rigor.
This special issue focuses on developing and evaluating strategies for developing agricultural crops subject to abiotic stresses. For this reason, it welcomes interdisciplinary studies from research fields related to agriculture, including Horticulture, Genetics, Plant Ecophysiology, Irrigation, Soils, and Plant Nutrition. Research articles will cover various agricultural scenarios in different regions of the world. Original research articles and reviews will be accepted.
