and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in field trialsconducted in eastern Canada are explored and then used to
estimate potential impacts of climate change scenarios on anticipated average yields and total production of these commodities for the Atlantic region for the 2040 to 2069 period.
As policy makers contend with deve - loping responses to
climate change and its
impacts in Alaska and beyond, it is imperative that the use and interpretation
of scientific studies to support policy development minimizes any
potential for bias by giving due consideration to the methodsused to
estimate temperature
change.
