Climate change in Saskatchewan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Climate change in Saskatchewan The effects of climate change in Saskatchewan are now being observed in parts of the province. There is evidence of reduction of biomass in Saskatchewan's boreal forests (as with those of other Canadian prairie provinces) that is linked by researchers to drought-related water stress stemming from global warming, most likely caused by greenhouse gas emissions. While studies, as early as 1988 (Williams, ''et al.'', 1988) have shown that climate change will affect agriculture,〔Williams, G.D.V., R.A. Fautley, K.H. Jones, R.B. Stewart, and E.E. Wheaton. 1988. "Estimating Effects of Climatic Change on Agriculture in Saskatchewan, Canada." p. 219–379. In M.L. Parry et al. (ed.) ''The Impact of Climatic Variations on Agriculture''. Vol. 1 Assessment in Cool Temperate and Cold Regions. Reidel Publ. Co. Dordrecht.〕 whether the effects can be mitigated through adaptations of cultivars, or crops, is less clear. Resiliency of ecosystems may decline with large changes in temperature.〔Riebsame. W.E. (1991). ("Sustainability of the Great Plains in an Uncertain Climate." ) ''Great Plains Research'' Vol. 1 No. 1, University of Nebraska〕 The provincial government has responded to the threat of climate change by introducing a plan to reduce carbon emissions, "The Saskatchewan Energy and Climate Change Plan", in June 2007.〔Government of Saskatchewan (June 14, 2007). (New plan attacks climate change in Saskatchewan ). Retrieved on: 2008-04-07.〕 ==Species diversity== Although the adaptive capacity of local species cannot be assumed to be nil, the impacts of anthropogenic climate change, or global warming, are likely to be too rapid for evolution to allow local adaptation. Species of special concern are the piping plover and lake sturgeon, because they are currently IUCN redlisted species their life cycle is dependent on current hydrological regimes.〔http://www.swa.ca/Stewardship/AssessmentMonitoring/Default.asp〕 The effects of climate change are also expected to affect the majority of Saskatchewans habitat types, and therefore, changes to the entire ecology of the province are expected.
