Abstract. Human land use activities have resulted in large changes to the biogeochemical and biophysical properties of Earth's surface, with consequences for climate other ecosystem services. In future, are likely expand and/or intensify further meet growing demands food, fiber, energy. As part World Climate Research Program Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), international community has developed next generation advanced Earth system models (ESMs) estimate combined effects human...
Significance Projections of the economic consequences climate change are valuable for policy making but generally rely on integrated assessments that cannot account highly localized effects. Most agricultural impact studies focus local effects or partial productivity measures insufficient to capture national outcomes. Here, we directly link variables in specific US regions total factor (TFP). We quantify past variations, identify critical with significance, and project future changes TFP...
Abstract Climate change presents huge challenges to the already-complex decisions faced by U.S. agricultural producers, as seasonal weather patterns increasingly deviate from historical tendencies. Under USDA funding, a transdisciplinary team of researchers, extension experts, educators, and stakeholders is developing climate decision support Dashboard for Agricultural Water use Nutrient management (DAWN) provide Corn Belt farmers with better predictive information. DAWN’s goal credible,...
Abstract Climate change is impacting global crop productivity, and agricultural land suitability predicted to significantly shift in the future. Responses changing conditions increasing yield variability can range from altered management strategies outright use conversions that may have significant environmental socioeconomic ramifications. However, extent which changes response variations climate unclear at larger scales. Improved understanding of these dynamics important since will...
Abstract Afforestation and reforestation have the potential to provide effective climate mitigation through forest carbon sequestration. Strategic activities, which account for both sequestration (CSP) economic opportunity, can attractive options policymakers who must manage competing social environmental goals. In particular, pricing incentivize on private land, but this may require landholders forego other profits. Here, we utilize an ambitious geospatial approach quantify opportunities in...
A pupal diapause in Ornithomya biloba gives the parasite a life cycle that is well adapted to migratory of its host, Petrochelidon ariel (Gould). The fairy martins breed colonial mud nests which they return each spring and abandon when migrate during late summer autumn. parasites spend as diapausing puparia abandoned nests. Diapause development completed winter adult flies emerge August about time return. In laboratory was most rapidly at 11 C. complete least one nondiapausing generation...
