It results from unsustainable land use and the impact of European settlement, rather than changing climate. Desertification can, however, be exacerbated or triggered by climate variability. Some of the degradation occurred in the early stages of pastoral development but the problem has continued. The e...
متن کاملClimate variability, climate change and the Australian snow season
‘Alpine systems are generally considered to be among the most vulnerable to future climate change’ (Hughes 2003), and changes in snow depth and cover in the Australian mountains would likely affect many animals. For instance, the Pygmy Possum depends on snow cover for stable, low temperatures during hibernation (Walter and Broome 1998). In years of shallow snow cover populations of Dusky Antech...

The evidence, she argues, is consistent with “an agriculture channel in which heat damages crops,” resulting in econo...
