متن کاملEffects of Climate Change on Norwegian Agriculture
This is a brief report on a model study of how production systems in two regions of Norway are affected by expected climate change, and how these soil-plant ecosystems functions as reactors in the climate system. A cluster of models simulating heat and water transport, plant growth, soil Cand N-transformations and transport have been run based on historical weather and weather generated by dyna...
