Session Description: Climate-related impacts on agriculture result from the interaction of climate-related hazards with the vulnerability and exposure of human and natural systems. This session aims to describe climate change associated events (e.g. heat waves, drought, extreme precipitation, wind erosion, flood, etc.), and to present adaptive solutions (genetics, cropping practices, cover crops) or tools (models) for implementing long-term mitigation strategies. We strongly encourage papers from experimentalists and modelers showcasing global warming threats and potential adaptation and mitigation strategies. All oral presentations given by students in this session will be eligible for Oral Presentation Award Competition of the community.
