Warming climate challenges breeding

Nature Plants, 2021
By adding high-resolution climatic factors to an innovative genotype-by-environment model, a study using high-quality data of global wheat trials demonstrates that climate change affects wheat breeding and that region-specific breeding efforts that target heat-tolerance traits achieve better yield stability in a warming climate.

Climate model and proxy data constraints on ocean warming across the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum [PDF]

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2013
Constraining the greenhouse gas forcing, climatic warming and estimates of climate sensitivity across ancient large transient warming events is a major challenge to the palaeoclimate research community.

Tree seasonality in a warming climate

Trends in Plant Science, 2011
Climate warming has increased researchers' interest in plant phenology and its modelling. Although the main focus is on projections of accelerated springtime phenological events, also a further extension of the growing season by delayed growth cessation is often projected. However, ecophysiological studies indicate that, for boreal and temperate trees,

Is the climate warming?

2002 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting. Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.02CH37309), 2003
Summary form only given. The balance of evidence suggests that the climate is not warming. A US National Research Council report has highlighted, but not explained, the disparity between different data sets: while a variety of surface thermometers report a substantial warming trend, microwave sensing units (MSU) on weather satellites, and also ...

Warming of the climate

Futures, 1982
Abstract Predicting the weather more than a few days ahead is a risky business, so how can we possibly have any idea of future climate? Of course we cannot predict future climate in any detail, but many scientists believe that the large-scale, global average climate of the future can be determined. The indications are for warming.

Climatic warming and the degradation of warm permafrost

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 1996
Permafrost—a widespread constituent of the terrestrial environment—by definition is dependent upon the ambient temperature for its existence and properties. Thus, it is very sensitive to climatic changes. Simple relations based upon conductive heat transfer, with thawing and geothermal heat flow, are presented to predict the transient effects of ...

Climatic Warming and Permafrost

1999
Permafrost is dependent upon the ambient temperature for its existence and is sensitive to climatic changes. Conduction heat transfer relations, with thawing and geothermal heat flow, are presented to predict the transient effects of surface temperature changes on the thermal state of permafrost.

Climate Variability and Global Warming

Science, 2001
Although uncertainties in global warming are many and varied, they are not as great as stated in the recent U.S. National Research Council (NRC) report ([1][1]). As Richard A. Kerr notes in his News of the Week article, President George W. Bush seized upon these uncertainties to justify the administration's limited response (“Bush backs spending for a ‘

Building in Warm Climates

1986
Mainly because there are many overseas readers of this book but also because UK readers are increasingly requiring a knowledge of overseas building practice, it seemed desirable to add a further chapter describing the main problems experienced and the techniques used to overcome them.
