Issues in the Impacts of Climate Variability and Change on Agriculture / Linda O. Mearns -- Climate Scenarios for the Southeastern U.S. Based on GCM and Regional Model Simulations / L. O. Mearns, F. Giorgi, L. McDaniel, C. Shields -- The Effect of Spatial Scale of Climatic Change Scenarios on Simulated Maize, Winter Wheat, and Rice Production in the Southeastern United States / E. A. Tsvetsinskaya, L. O. Mearns, T. Mavromatis, W. Gao, L. McDaniel, M. W. Downton -- Response of Soybean and Sorghum to Varying Spatial Scales of Climate Change Scenarios in the Southeastern United States / Gregory J. Carbone, William Kiechle, Christopher Locke, Linda O. Mearns, Larry McDaniel, Mary W. Downton -- Spatial Scale Effects of Climate Scenarios on Simulated Cotton Production in the Southeastern U.S.A. / Ruth M. Doherty, Linda O. Mearns, K. Raja Reddy, Mary W. Downton, Larry McDaniel -- The Effects of Spatial Scale of Climate Scenarios on Economic Assessments: An Example from U.S. Agriculture / Richard M. Adams, Bruce A. McCarl, Linda O. Mearns -- Improving the Realism of Modeling Agronomic Adaptation to Climate Change: Simulating Technological Substitution / William E. Easterling, Netra Chhetri, Xianzeng Niu -- Southeastern U.S. Vegetation Response to ENSO Events (1989–1999) / Albert J. Peters, Lei Ji, Elizabeth Walter-Shea -- Stochastic Modeling of the Effects of Large-Scale Circulation on Daily Weather in the Southeastern U.S. / Richard W. Katz, Marc B. Parlange, Claudia Tebaldi.
Summary: This book presents a collection of articles concerning key topics which examine the impacts of climate change and variability on agriculture. The application region is the southeastern United States. The main topics include an investigation of the effect of variations in the spatial scale of climate change scenarios on an agricultural integrated assessment, methods of simulating adaptations of climate change, and the relationship between large scale climate variability and local climate and vegetation. This book will be very useful for researchers and policy makers involved in climate change impacts.
