Book Description
Report of two studies on the impacts of climatic change for the agri-food sector in Ontario, undertaken by the Land Evaluation Group at the University of Guelph. The first study assesses the impacts of changes in climate on Ontario's potential to support crops and identifies the extent to which climatic change cound enhance or diminish crop yields across the province. The second study examines impacts of changes in climatic norms and year-to-year variations in climate on agricultural production and economic viability at the farm, regional and provincial levels.

Implications of Climatic Change for Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan
Author: Geoffrey Wall
Publisher: Le Service
ISBN:
Category : Climat
Languages : fr
Pages : 44
Book Description
Prince Albert National Park is an almost rectangular area located near the geographic centre of Saskatchewan. The park lies within the mixed wood section of the boreal forest region and forested lands occupy 91% of the park area. The report describes future climatic conditions and corresponding vegetation changes for the park and explores the array of potential implications of climate change for the study area and for the management of national parks.

Farming in a Changing Climate
Author: Ellen Wall
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 077484020X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
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.

Adapting to Climate Variability and Change in Ontario
Author: Jamie Vernon Smith
Publisher: [Downsview, Ont.] : Environment Canada, Ontario Region
ISBN: 9780662259220
Category : Climatic changes
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
This report summarizes the most recent literature describing the impacts of current climate and the potential effects of anticipated climate change on the environment and on those social and economic sectors in Ontario most likely to undergo significant changes. After the introduction, chapter 2 describes the physical and socio-economic resources of Ontario. Chapter 3 details current climatic conditions in the province, including variability and recent trends. Chapter 4 reviews the impacts of the current climate on the following sectors: water resources, human and ecosystem health, the built environment, and industries such as energy, transportation, tourism and recreation, agriculture, forestry, construction, and finance. This chapter also examines the relationship between climate and regional air issues. Chapter 5 surveys future climate scenarios and assesses the impacts and opportunities arising from these scenarios for the same sectors addressed in chapter 4. Chapter 6 reviews the research and application of adaptive measures in five areas: water resources, human and ecosystem health, the built environment, industry, and regional air issues. The chapter also reviews Ontario's adaptation capacity with respect to these sectors. The final chapter summarizes knowledge gaps and research priorities for Ontario in the areas of climate variability and change, impacts and adaptation.

Societal Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change
Author: Sally M. Kane
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780792363842
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 840
Book Description
Changes in climate and climate variability have an effect on people's behaviour around the world, and public institutions have an important part to play in influencing our ability to respond to and plan for climate risk. We may be able to reduce climate risk by seeking to mitigate the threat on the one hand, and by adapting to a changed climate on the other. Another theme of the book is the integrated role of adaptation and mitigation in framing issues and performing analyses. Adaptation costs fall most heavily on the poor and special attention needs to be paid to adaptation by the poorest populations. An integrating framework is also presented to provide the context for an expansive typology of terms to apply to adaptation. The 12 papers collected here use methods from a variety of disciplines and focus on different time frames for decision making, from short term to the very long term. Readership: Technically trained readers familiar with the policy issues surrounding climate change and interested in learning the scientific underpinnings of issues related to societal adaptation.
