Crop production and future climate change in a high latitude region : a case study for the Upper Great Lakes region of the United States
"Agriculture is particularly susceptible to climate change, as inferred from large historical variations in crop production in response to past climate variability. The major goal of this dissertation is to evaluate the spatial variability of the impacts of projected future climate change on crop production in a high latitude region. Corn and soybean production in the Upper Great Lakes Region (UGLR) of the United States, encompassing the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, serves as the case study."--From abstract.
