Description In this chapter, we tackle the physiology of
plant water use from the angle of how this will
be modified in a context of a changing climate.
Two recent reviews cover a number of innovative
aspects to drought research, in particular in relation
to research on roots, and advocate the need
to look at the soil–root–shoot–atmosphere water
management in a comprehensive and dynamic
manner (Vadez et al. 2007, 2008). In the present
chapter, we revisit some of these aspects from
the perspective of changing climatic conditions
and explore the major issues that climate change will bring about, and how it will affect crop
production and in particular under water-limited
conditions. These issues can be broadly grouped
into two categories: (1) thermodynamic aspects
of the soil–plant–atmosphere water relations and
(2) growth and development aspects.
