Track 2-07: Climate Change Impacts on Grassland Production, Composition, Distribution and Adaptation
Description
Increasing temperatures and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, together with changes to rainfall patterns, will influence seasonal pasture production; however climate change projections for south eastern Australia are uncertain (CSIRO and BoM 2007). Despite this, climate change impact assessments generally rely on specific climate projections, but in this study an alternative approach was developed to test the resilience of production to incremental changes in climate.
