Global warming impact on confined livestock in buildings: efficacy of adaptation measures to reduce heat stress for growing-fattening pigs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Climatic Change"
DOI: 10.1007/s10584-019-02525-3
Abstract: Pigs and poultry are raised predominantly at high stocking densities in confined, insulated livestock buildings with mechanical ventilation systems. These systems are quite sensitive to heat stress, which has increased in recent decades from anthropogenic… read more here.

Where are Greater Climate Change Adaptation Measures Needed in a Wetland?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Wetlands"
DOI: 10.1007/s13157-021-01471-0
Abstract: Climate change in arid areas leads to intensive drought, which causes widespread degradation in wetland ecosystems. Since wetlands play an important role in the sustainability of arid regions, climate change adaptation measures are required to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106481
Abstract: Abstract The risks in agriculture due to climate change are highly specific because they largely depend on the agricultural system, latitude, topography, disposition, and other local conditions. As such, it is difficult to decide which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2016.10.042
Abstract: The uncertainty associated with the definition of strategies for climate change adaptation poses a challenge that cannot be faced by science alone. We present a participatory experience where, instead of having science defining solutions and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpol.2021.104793
Abstract: Abstract Fishing activities are vulnerable to climate change and natural climatic variability. Fishery-dependent coastal communities with low diversification of economic activities are especially threatened by climate change. We prioritized adaptation measures to climate change, through… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.scs.2020.102215
Abstract: Abstract Cities are particularly sensitive to the effects of climate change, causing an increasing incidence of heat waves. Extreme temperatures can impair the use of public spaces in cities, as heat stress endangers human well-being… read more here.
