Climate change scenarios to facilitate stakeholder engagement in agricultural adaptation

Webb, N.; Stokes, C. - In: Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change 17 (2012) 8, pp. 957-973

To prepare agricultural systems for climate change, scientists need to be able to effectively engage with land managers and policy makers to explore potential solutions. An ongoing challenge in engagement is to distil the complexity of climate-change-management-change interactions in...

Greenhouse gas mitigation with scarce land: The potential contribution of increased nitrogen input

Meyer-Aurich, Andreas; Olesen, Jørgen; Prochnow, Annette; … - In: Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change 18 (2013) 7, pp. 921-932

Agricultural lands have been identified to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions primarily by production of energy crops and substituting fossil energy resources and through carbon sequestration in soils. Increased fertilizer input resulting in increased yields may reduce the area needed for...

Two methods to assess vulnerability to climate change in the Mexican agricultural sector

Monterroso, Alejandro; Conde, Cecilia; Gay, Carlos; … - In: Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change 19 (2014) 4, pp. 445-461

We applied two methods to assess vulnerability to climate change in Mexico’s agricultural sector. The first one was a principal component analysis (PCA) that weighted each variable separately. For the second one, we integrated the variables in a linear array in which all variables were...
