Interpretive Summary: This article is an Editorial published in Agriculture, Ecosystems, and Environment that summarizes a series of papers from a Special Issue in this journal titled “Response and adaptation of agricultural ecosystems to global changes”. Topics included ozone air pollution, precipitation, warming, management strategies, and modelling of climate change factors. The submissions to this Special Issue predominantly focused on the responses to climate change, highlighting the need for increased attention to adaptation strategies in future studies.

Technical Abstract: In recognition of the impacts of climate change and air pollution, a special issue was prepared to address the response and adaptation of agricultural ecosystems to global changes. A total of thirteen papers were published, delving into the mechanisms underlying the effects on crops and agroecosystems and adding important insights into the modeling and adaptation of agroecosystems to global change through optimized management practices. This collection of papers has a broad relevance to numerous areas in agriculture, ecology, and environmental and earth sciences.
