Transformational adaptation: agriculture and climate change (2012, background): “Transaction costs and risks can also be high because the expected benefits of action may not be realised for a long time, or even ever, and the actions can contest with existing norms and values (Howden et al. 2008; Orlove 2009).”
Plant adaptation to climate change—opportunities and priorities in breeding (2012, background): “…by climate resulting in a decrease in the overall nutritive value of the pasture (Schenk et al. 1997), but in other circumstances, increased legume competitiveness may increase nutritive value (e.g. Howden et al. 2008), with the expectation of flow-on impacts for animal weight gain in both cases.”
Climate change effects on pasture systems in south-eastern Australia (2009, background): “In addition, changes to rainfall patterns may influence natural resource degradation processes such as erosion and salinity through changes in runoff and drainage patterns (van Ittersum et al. 2003; Howden et al. 2008).”
Livestock production in a changing climate: adaptation and mitigation research in Australia (2012, background): “For example, warming will favour tropical (C4) species over temperate (C3) species, with associated changes in pasture quality (Howden et al. 2008).”
