Abstract
In this section we examine the effects of short-term variability of precipitation on the potentially cultivable area of Chimborazo Province. After an initial discussion of the relation between climate and potential production, climatically induced shifts in areas suitable for certain crops are mapped for given scenarios of climatic variation. The areas delimited by these shifts represent areas of potential climate impact.
