How limiting factors drive agricultural adaptation to climate change.
... Here we argue that a farmer’s future climate concerns are oriented towards the most limiting climatic factor within their system as informed by previous weather and climate events. Because farmers must repeatedly contend with limiting factors in a particular agro-ecological context, their attitudes ...

During the past few decades, surface layers of the ocean have decreased 0.02 pH units per decade (Bijma et al., 2013); a rate of change that is about 30–100 times faster than has occurred in the geologic past. As surface layers of the ocean warm i ...
