Suitable Days for Plant Growth Disappear under Projected Climate Change: Potential Human and Biotic Vulnerability by Camilo Mora (208409)

“…We show that although the global mean number of days above freezing will increase by up to 7% by 2100 under “business as usual” (representative concentration pathway [RCP] 8.5), suitable growing days will actually decrease globally by up to 11% when other climatic variables that limit plant growth are considered (i.e., temperature, water availability, and solar radiation). …”
