Abstract Climate services can support on-farm decisions, yet this potential is currently not fully realized. Here, using a participatory qualitative risk analysis framework, we introduced 24 Australian farmers to My View, an online, multi-decadal climate service, and asked them identify, assess discuss management of long-term risks in light its projections. We found that projections help better understand future risks, potentially reducing the psychological distance change. The use...
ABSTRACT Australia's first National Climate Risk Assessment is built on the latest science as well learnings from other countries’ national risk assessments. The goal of assessment was to identify priority risks climate change Australia a nation. Due timeline obligations, this process needed be completed in 4 months, considerably shorter timeframe than In paper, authors share implementing pass Assessment, which brought together more 240 stakeholders across eight systems co‐develop set risks....
Abstract Temperate perennial fruit and nut trees play varying roles in world food diversity—providing edible oils micronutrient, energy, protein dense foods. In addition, perennials reuse significant amounts of biomass each year providing a unique resilience. But they also have sensitivity to seasonal temperatures, requiring period dormancy for successful growing season production. This paper takes global view five temperate tree crops—apples, cherries, almonds, olives, grapes—and assesses...
Background and Aims. Australia’s changing climate is already impacting the agriculture sector will continue to do so in future. To help respond these impacts, Climate Services for Agriculture (CSA) platform presents readily accessible data, including future projections, relevant specific agricultural commodities. This wine industry example aims demonstrate functionality utility of CSA national use across a broad range Methods Results. The includes commodity-relevant indices designed...
We conducted comparisons for exotic mammal species introduced to New Zealand (28 successful, 4 failed), Australia (24, 17) and Britain (15, 16). Modelling of variables associated with establishment success was constrained by small sample sizes phylogenetic dependence, so our results should be interpreted caution. Successful were subject more release events, had higher climate matches between their overseas geographic range country introduction, larger likely have established an population...
Background and Aims Grapevine phenology is closely linked with growing season temperature. Rising temperature related to anthropogenic climate change has the potential advance winegrape ripening. This study updated validated previous research that considered changes timing of maturity warming as well added several new vineyard data sets. Length harvest period was assessed determine if time between harvests different cultivars shortened. Methods Results Vineyard records from 31 blocks in 13...
This study estimated minimum air temperatures for potential sun damage sunburn browning (non-netted and netted) necrosis (non-netted) Royal Gala apple in Australia. The approach when conditions may be conducive to the development of some fruit. provides a measure damage. allows more flexible analyses which current models are unable produce due data limitations. temperature thresholds determined were 34.1 38.7 °C, respectively, non-netted fruit 37.9 °C under netting. These applied across...
Pear fruit are subject to sun damage from high surface temperature (FST). Shade netting has been shown decrease FST and sunburn of apples but also decreased colour. The aim this study was investigate the effects on FST, colour red-blushed pear cultivar 'ANP-0131'. measured using fine-wire thermocouples inserted into 54 in a netted block trees 56 adjoining rows non-netted trees. Netting reduced maximum by 10%. under did not exceed reported threshold 47°C despite air reaching 38.6°C. site...
