Impacts on Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries

  • Chapter
Global Warming

  • 222 Accesses

Summary

Climate variations significantly affect agriculture, forestry and fisheries through complicated mechanisms. Therefore, agriculture, forestry and fisheries are expected to be especially vulnerable to climate changes. The impacts of climatic warming on agriculture and forest productions are: 1) the direct effects of increased atmospheric CO2 concentration on crop and forest, 2) the indirect effects of climate change on crop, forest, livestock, weed, and pests, and 3) the effects of sea level rise on farmland and forest at a low altitude. The impacts of climate warming on fisheries production become apparent through an increase in sea surface temperature, changing the ocean current, mixing layers and complicated food chain. Thus, in agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors, there are many complex interactions among the related factors.
