What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.4K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Global Climate Change

24.3K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss01:57

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

25.5K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Frost Action on Concrete01:27

Frost Action on Concrete

97
Concrete structures in cold climates, such as those along roadsides, can retain moisture. This moisture makes them susceptible to frost-related damage when temperatures fall below freezing. Adding moisture worsens the damage during temperature fluctuations, leading to repeated freezing and thawing. De-icing salts, spread over these structures to melt ice, add to the freeze-thaw cycle, and draw even more moisture into the concrete.
This freeze-thaw cycle primarily causes surface scaling, where...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Climate Science
  • Food Security

Background:

  • Potatoes are a globally significant crop, essential for food security.
  • Effective potato storage is crucial for reducing food loss and waste.
  • Climate change poses potential risks to agricultural storage and food supply chains.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a comprehensive literature review on the impacts of climate change on potato storage.
  • To identify key knowledge gaps in current research.
  • To inform future studies on climate-resilient potato storage.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of existing research.
  • Analysis of climate variables and their correlation with potato storage outcomes.
  • Synthesis of findings on tuber sprouting and disease prevalence.

Main Results:

  • Climate change, particularly dry and hot conditions (indicated by lower Sielianinov coefficient values), shortens potato tuber dormancy, leading to earlier sprouting during storage.
  • Specific examples show reduced dormancy periods at different storage temperatures (e.g., 3°C and 5°C) correlated with climate variations.
  • High Sielianinov coefficient values may exacerbate disease issues in stored potatoes.
  • Current research on climate change impacts on potato storage is limited.

Conclusions:

  • Climate change presents significant challenges to maintaining potato quality and viability during storage.
  • Earlier sprouting and increased disease susceptibility are key concerns.
  • Further research is urgently needed to develop effective adaptation strategies for potato storage under changing climate conditions.
