This study uses panel data methods to document that climate change could also reduce harvested area. We find that 'crop failures' are sensitive to spring and fall temperature conditions. Using perturbations of temperature and precipitation conditions, we show that a uniform 1 C-circle increase in ...
Nation-wide average decreases in yields are likely to emerge through more years of unforeseen crop failures and through regional devastation. The crop switching actions projected in this paper would cause disruptions to farmers, food supplies, and environmental habitats. Even if crops are mobile, ...
In addition, crop failures can lead to food shortages, which can have severe consequences for vulnerable populations, such as children and the elderly. Climate change also has significant economic consequences. Agriculture is a major contributor to many economies around the world, and reduced crop ...
crops would be produced all year round, as they would be kept in artificially controlled, optimum growing conditions. There would be no weather-related crop failures due to droughts, floods or pests. All the food could be grown organically, eliminating the need for herbicides, pesticides...
If the ability to irrigate breadbaskets was eliminated due to water scarcity, the likelihood of crop failures would increase. Shifts in breadbaskets may cross national borders as crop yields will increase in Canada and decrease in the US as a response to a changing climate. Our analysis ...
核心是: crop failures 庄稼作物的生长失败 修饰语是: weather-related和due to droughts, floods or pests. 也就是,和天气相关的,因为干旱,洪水,害虫而导致的庄稼作物的生长失败。 所以这句话就是再继续解释优势: 除了有人工可控之外,还可以避免一些天气等客观的因素而导致的庄稼无法良好生长。 第四句: All ...
In this paper, we explore what causes catastrophic crop failures. The study demonstrates that 39% of the variation in expected crop failure rates across the United States can be explained by soils and climate. The analysis shows that precipitation, soils, and especially temperature all explain ...
The supporters of vertical farming claim many potential advantages for the system. For instance, crops would be produced all year round, as they would be kept in artificially controlled, optimum growing conditions. There would be no weather-related crop failures due to droughts, floods or pests....
In recent years, most of the smallholder farming areas have experienced perennial droughts, poor rainfall distribution and crop failures and these have been attributed to climate change and variability. Cultivation of dambos, which are seasonal wetlands, presents a climate change and variability ...
