This week work began on a project to re-establish agriculture should such a calamity occur.

主要是句中should such a calamity occur是否省略if?
语法现象是否为虚拟语气?
倒装?
能否再举一个类似的例子?


原文如下:
IF CATASTROPHE were to befall humanity—be it plague, nuclear war or an asteroid striking the Earth—what provision could be made for the survivors? 《This week work began on a project to re-establish agriculture should such a calamity occur. 》On a remote Arctic island, a vault is being dug to house the seeds of up to 3m different crops, as part of plans to protect food supplies across the world.

最佳答案
同意LZ,should such a calamity occur是一个省略了if 的虚拟条件从句,即 if such a calamity should occur

在这种以if 引导的虚拟语气的条件从句中,可采用倒装语序,把条件从句中的should, had, were提前到从句句首。

又如:---Should he call, tell him to wait for me at home. 如果他找我,告诉他在家等我。
----Were he here, he would support me. 如果他在,他会支持我。
