| Summary: | Climate change impacts on livestock are already occurring
- Encroachment by woody plants on key grazing lands, reducing fodder availability (NA, EA, CA, WA, SA)
- Decreases in dairy production due to high temps and high relative humidity (NA)
- Increased livestock mortality and livestock price shocks related to droughts (NA, EA, CA, WA)
- Increased temps and rainfall expanding range of tick species that spread economically harmful diseases (EA, SA) |
