Impact of Climate change on Agriculture
1. Smith, W., Grant, B., Desjardins, R., Qian, B., Hutchinson, J., & Gameda, S. (2009). Potential Impact Of Climate Change On Carbon In Agricultural Soils In Canada 2000–2099. Climatic Change, 93(3-4), 319-333. doi:10.1007/s10584-008-9493-y
This article focuses on the effect of global warming on carbon stocks in Canada’s agricultural soil. Smith el at. (2009) used weather data from 1951 – 2001 to predict climate scenario in the future until 2099 and used Century Model to predict the soil organic carbon would gradually increase between 1960 to 2099. They also divided Canada into 3 different weather zones which are semi - arid, sub – humid and humid to calculate …show more content…
He considered the weather conditions in SSA and explained how these conditions will decrease the ability for agricultural use, length of harvest seasons and agricultural potential. Thus, affecting the food security. He also draws the concern to the need of promoting adaptation in order to minimize the loss bought by climate change to the agricultural land in SSA.

This journal focuses on the impacts on soil properties due to climate change and the adaptation and treatment to agricultural soil. Rounsevell et al. (1999) emphasis the response of soil water content on climate change since this has a chain effect on other properties of soil such as soil temperature, soil workability, soil nutrient status etc. They affect the use of soil as well as many normal soil processes which would led to degradation of agriculture soils. The authors also provide appropriate measures on the management of soil to adopt climate
