Drought Effects on 2013 Corn Planting: Plant Population and Maturity Group
2013-02-13 22:17:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Source: Farmgate blog You are paying $4 for 1,000 kernels of seed corn, and with great precision, bury them, kernel by kernel, bag after bag after bag. The late Paul Harvey would define that as optimism. But if you are burying that seed in dry soil, should you plant at a higher or lower population than usual? And what about maturity; should it be earlier or later than normal? Your seed corn bill will have at least five digits, and six digits for many larger farms, and by spending that much money, your decision has to reflect more science than optimism. read more

Minnesota moose population plummets, activists blame climate
2013-02-09 16:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The population of moose in northeastern Minnesota dropped by 35 percent since last year, prompting state officials to cancel this year's fall hunt and conservationists to blame warming temperatures for the massive creature's decline. "The state's moose population has been in decline for years but never at the precipitous rate documented this winter," Tom Landwehr, Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources commissions, said in a statement Wednesday. This year's drop in population continues...

India: Climate Change and Population Growth Meet Along the Brahmaputra River
2013-01-23 05:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: A multichannel mammoth stretching up to 10 kilometers (six miles) wide, the Brahmaputra River in Assam causes havoc every year when it floods. Now climate change is intensifying the hydrological cycle. Brian Orland, a Fulbright-Nehru Fellow, is starting a nine-month study on climate change adaptation along the Brahmaputra River, where the environment challenges the region faces are likely to be repeated in other parts of developing Asia. His relationship with the Brahmaputra began at a Mumbai...

Soaring Population, Climate Change Stress Resources
2013-01-18 19:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Voice of America: Population growth threatens to strain Earth's water and food resources. By 2050, nine billion people will be living on the planet, up from six billion today. The problem facing the world community is how to meet those needs while reining in the global greenhouse gases warming the earth. Advances and losses Progress has been made. Since world leaders met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the first Earth Summit on Sustainable Development 20 years ago, global poverty has fallen by half, per capita...

Extreme Climate Events Create Synchronized Population Fluctuations
2013-01-18 13:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Scientists have known that climate change affects the population dynamics of single species, such as reindeer or caribou, but the effects of such climate change at the community level have been much harder to document and quantify. A new study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has found that extreme climate events cause a synchronized population fluctuation among all vertebrate species in a relatively simple high arctic community. The findings, published in a recent...
