The Impact of Climate Change on the Potential Suitable Distribution of Major Crops in Zambia and the Countermeasures
[chapter]
2015
IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology
Preserved Fulltext
To effectively adapt to foreseeable climate change, and to decrease risk of the food crisis, we analyzed potential suitable distribution of major crops (white maize (Zea mays), cassava (Manihot esculenta ...
The suitable regions of sorghum move northward although the total areas will not change. We conclude that future climate change will have different effects on various crops. ...
