Adaptation Strategies Strongly Reduce the Future Impacts of Climate Change on Simulated Crop Yields

The Impact of Climate Change on Crop Yields in India

The study of climate change impacts on Indian agriculture has gained recent attention, due to the size of India’s agricultural sector, and reports suggesting that developing countries are more vulnerable to negative climate change effects. Studies in India have focused on predicting future trends using standard climate change scenarios from externally developed models. However, these studies ar...

North-South divide: contrasting impacts of climate change on crop yields in Scotland and England.

Effects of climate change on productivity of agricultural crops in relation to diseases that attack them are difficult to predict because they are complex and nonlinear. To investigate these crop-disease-climate interactions, UKCIP02 scenarios predicting UK temperature and rainfall under high- and low-CO(2) emission scenarios for the 2020s and 2050s were combined with a crop-simulation model pr...

Climate change and biodiversity conservation: impacts, adaptation strategies and future research directions

The impacts of climate change pose fundamental challenges for current approaches to biodiversity conservation. Changing temperature and precipitation regimes will interact with existing drivers such as habitat loss to influence species distributions despite their protection within reserve boundaries. In this report we summarize a suite of current adaptation proposals for conservation, and highl...

Assessment of impacts of future climate change on water resources of the Hulu Langat basin using the swat model

Proceedings Crop Protection in Northern Britain 2008 IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON ARABLE CROPS – ADAPTATION CHALLENGES

Climate change, longer growing seasons, precipitation changes, more extremes and higher temperatures will mean future crops need to be more resilient. Soils are an important resource, a complex community and a potential carbon sink which will be affected by and respond to these changes. Understanding the complex interactions between pests, pathogens, their hosts and abiotic stresses is necessar...
