Climate Change Impact on Air Temperature, Daily Temperature Range, Growing Degree Days, and Spring and Fall Frost Dates In Nebraska, EC715

This UNL Extension Circular provides data and quantitative analyses, discussion, and interpretation of impacts of change in air temperature as a result of climate change on some of the basic temperature-related indices related to agricultural practices and their potential implications on agricultural practices. Adapting agricultural practices to a changing climate can help to sustain and even increase productivity. While we notice and hear stories about the climate changes going on around us, such as seeing robins and lilacs blooming earlier in the spring, it is important to know the numbers behind the observations and what they mean. Also, while global climate change is making headlines, local conditions and climate changes need to be quantified and interpreted. Even within a given region (i.e., Nebraska), the impact(s) of climate change can vary substantially depending on the gradients in interactions between land surface characteristics versus atmosphere. Thus, the climate change impacts in even one state should be quantified locally. Better preparations and management decisions can be made by combining relevant climate trend information with up-to-date forecasts. 04/10/13
