A Farm‐Level Analysis of Economic and Agronomic Impacts of Gradual Climate Warming
在农场层面分析逐步气候变暖的经济和农艺影响，通过链接气候、农艺和经济模型，评估不同变暖情景下明尼苏达州南部谷物种植者的适应策略。
Abstract The potential economic and agronomic impacts of gradual climate warming are examined at the farm level. Three models of the relevant climatic, agronomic, and economic processes are developed and linked to address climate change impacts and agricultural adaptability. Several climate warming scenarios are analyzed, which vary in severity. The results indicate that grain farmers in southern Minnesota can effectively adapt to a gradually changing climate (warmer and either wetter or drier) by adopting later maturing cultivars, changing crop mix, and altering the timing of field operations to take advantage of a longer growing season resulting from climate warming.
