Book Farming in a Changing Climate

Download or read book Farming in a Changing Climate written by Ellen Wall and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In farming systems across Canada, effective risk management is necessary to deal with drought, flooding, and extreme weather, and to adapt to altered climate and weather conditions. Unfortunately, climate change risks and opportunities are not always well understood among researchers and policy makers in the Canadian agri-food sector. This book addresses that gap by providing a wide-ranging synopsis of what climate change means for Canadian agriculture, exploring different approaches to the topic, and presenting examples of current research. It covers all agricultural regions and a wide variety of commodity production and farming systems. This comprehensive survey synthesizes twenty years of research on climate change and Canadian agriculture.

Book Climate Change and World Agriculture

Download or read book Climate Change and World Agriculture written by Martin L. Parry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990, this book analysed the sensitivity of the world food system and looked at the variety of ways in which it would be affected by climate change. It describes the effects of climate change on agriculture, estimates the impacts on plant and animal growth and looks at the geographical limits to different types of farming. It also considers the range of possible ways to adapt agriculture and so to mitigate the disastrous consequences of climate change.

Book Climate Change 2022     Impacts  Adaptation and Vulnerability

Download or read book Climate Change 2022 Impacts Adaptation and Vulnerability written by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 3070 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Working Group II contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a comprehensive assessment of the scientific literature relevant to climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. The report recognizes the interactions of climate, ecosystems and biodiversity, and human societies, and integrates across the natural, ecological, social and economic sciences. It emphasizes how efforts in adaptation and in reducing greenhouse gas emissions can come together in a process called climate resilient development, which enables a liveable future for biodiversity and humankind. The IPCC is the leading body for assessing climate change science. IPCC reports are produced in comprehensive, objective and transparent ways, ensuring they reflect the full range of views in the scientific literature. Novel elements include focused topical assessments, and an atlas presenting observed climate change impacts and future risks from global to regional scales. Available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Book Investigation of Multi criteria Decision Analysis Approaches for Agricultural Decision making in Southern Ontario

Download or read book Investigation of Multi criteria Decision Analysis Approaches for Agricultural Decision making in Southern Ontario written by Li Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land-use and land-cover change has significant impact on the Earth's ecosystems and global carbon cycle, which calls for well-planned land management strategies. This study presented a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for agricultural land-use allocation integrating environmental, social, and economic factors with human preferences. The agent-based modelling of agricultural land-use allocation shows that integrating a multi-objective decision analysis (MODA) of land amount allocation in land-use allocation will result in different land use allocation results from directly allocate land-use on fields. In addition to general land-use types of cropland, pasture, and woodland studied in MODA, a specific crop of corn was selected for site analysis with a multi-attribute suitability analysis based on soil, topography, and climate characteristics on potential sites and farmers' opinions about relative importance of these criteria. This study reveals that land management on land with heterogeneity is important and human preferences and decision-making strategies have significant impact on LUCC.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On- strategies organized according to the need to understand climate site land use planning and management techniques must be change, mitigate the impacts of rapid climate change, and help designed to protect the ecological and social pieces, patterns, Ontarians adapt to climate change: and processes. [...] Given the uncertainty in the amount of emissions and associated effects, natural resource management agencies around the world are using a number of climate models and scenarios of human behaviour to depict a range of potential climatic conditions and impacts that may appear in the next 100 years. [...] It is notable that the countries attending the 2005 climate change conference in Montreal to review and discuss future programs under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol agreed that the development of adaptation tools and techniques should receive significant attention during the next 5 years. [...] Species Distribution and Abundance in Response to Climate Change The distribution and abundance of a species across its geographic range is related to both biotic (e.g., food, competition, and disease) and abiotic (e.g., climate and substrate) factors. [...] There are several ways to examine the effects of climate on terrestrial fauna, and to determine how climate change may affect species and their habitat in the future.
