Climate Change Adaptation for Agro-forestry Industries: Sustainability Challenges in Uji Tea Cultivation

Adaptation to Climate Change in Swedish Forestry

Adaptation to climate change in forestry has become a growing concern, in part due to the impact of storms and other events that have raised the awareness of such risks amongst forest owners. Sweden is one of Europe’s most densely-forested countries, with this sector playing a major role economically. However adaptation has, to a large extent, been limited to the provision of recommendations to...

Climate Change Challenges for Hong Kong: An Agenda for Adaptation

Climate change impacts on forestry.

Changing temperature and precipitation pattern and increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO(2) are likely to drive significant modifications in natural and modified forests.
