The US National Research Council assessed the literature on the effects of climate change on crop yields in 2011, [28] and provided central estimates for key crops. [28]: 160 A meta-analysis in 2014 revealed consensus that yield is expected to decrease in the second half of the century, and with greater effect in tropical than temperate regions.
"The negative impacts of climate change on crop yield are masked by technological improvements," Iizumi said. Impacts of CO2 fertilization varies by crop, can be negative.
The vulnerability of agriculture to climatic change is strongly dependent on the responses taken by humans to moderate the effects of climate change. [6] Changes in crop and livestock viability are forcing the farmers to find better choices of crops and animals, capable of adaption to temperature changes and water availability.
Therefore, any comprehensive plan of adaptation to the effects of climate change, particularly the present and future effects of climate change on agriculture, must also consider livestock. [33] [34] Livestock activities also contribute disproportionately to land-use effects, since crops such as corn and alfalfa are cultivated to feed the ...
Many of the nation’s biggest apple-generating regions are confronting challenges in crop growth and development, due to the impacts of a changing climate, a new study has found. While apple ...
Farmers have always dealt with the whims of Mother Nature, but a warming planet could prove devastating to farms all over the world, changing what crops can be grown where. With climate change ...
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
The Trump administration has buried dozens of studies by the US Department of Agriculture assessing the effects of climate change, Politico reported.. The studies are said to assess the impact of ...
