<abstract> Climate change has threatened the global agricultural production systems that have already been under pressure to keep up with the increasing population. Predicted rise in temperature and increased uncertainty in precipitation will impact the crop production systems worldwide. With subsistence agricultural production systems that rely solely on rainfall, sub-Saharan Africa is highly sensitive to climate variations. Vulnerability of the regions also stems from the lack of financial...

<abstract> Despite the growing attention paid to the potential for climate change to affect climate variability and extremes, most models being used to assess climate change impacts on agricultural producers are based on averaged or aggregated data over relatively large populations. The only sense in which such studies can assess vulnerability â defined as the risk of a negative impact â is in terms of average impacts on groups of farm households stratified by some criterion such as a...

<abstract> <b>Abstract.</b> The terrestrial biosphere is an important global carbon (C) sink, with the potential to drive large positive climate feedbacks. Thus a better understanding of interactions between land use change, climate change and the terrestrial biosphere is crucial in planning future land management options. Climate change has the potential to alter terrestrial C storage since changes in temperature, precipitation and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations could affect net...
