This chapter discusses the impacts of climate change on agriculture and the role of adaptation. Specifically, the chapter explores the following impacts of climate change on agriculture: increased CO2 concentrations, water availability, and pests and diseases. The chapter also includes reports of...

Regional Impacts of Climate Change and the role of Adaptation
Perennial horticultural crop production is sensitive to temperature, water availability, solar radiation, air pollution, and CO2. The value of perennial horticultural crops is derived from not only the quantity but also the quality of the harvested product. Perennial crop production is not easily...

Response of Perennial Horticultural Crops to Climate Change
Global climate models (GCMs) have become increasingly important for climate change
science and provide the basis for most impact studies. Since impact models are highly
sensitive to input climate data, GCM skill is crucial for getting better short-, medium- and
long-term outlooks for agricultural...

In this article the authors assess the potential impacts of projected climate change on water, livelihoods and food security in the Basin Focal Projet basins. The authors consider expected change within the context of recently observed climate variability in the basins to better understand the po...

The nature and impact of climate change in the challenge program on water and food (CPWF) basins
Governments and conservation organizations have dedicated extensive resources to protect biodiversity, but their conservation strategies have largely been developed under an assumption of a static climate. These strategies may fail with changing climates, especially when combined with existing an...

Combustion of fuels in the residential sector for cooking and heating results in the emission of aerosol and aerosol precursors impacting air quality, human health, and climate. Residential emissions are dominated by the combustion of solid fuels. We use a global aerosol microphysics model to sim...
The potential for bananas to produce year round is best expressed when water is abundant and daily temperatures are in the range of 20-30°C. Zones with these conditions produce fruit for the global market. However, banana production, mainly for national markets, has developed in many subtropical ...
