Los efectos del cambio climático en la actividad agrícola y pecuaria son tangibles. Es posible observar alteraciones en la duración de los ciclos agrícolas por la temperatura, disminución en los rendimientos por menores lluvias, mayor vulnerabilidad de razas y variedades poco resistentes a los cambios de condiciones, así como la expansión de las zonas de transmisión de enfermedades y plagas.
“Conversion of lowland tropical forests to tree cash crop plantations loses up to one-half of stored soil organic carbon” – 2015 – O.van Straaten, M.D.Corre, K.Wolf, M.Tchienkoua & al
Oliver van Straaten, Marife D. Corre, Katrin Wolf, Martin Tchienkoua, Eloy Cuellar, Robin B. Matthews,
& Edzo Veldkamp.
Tropical deforestation for the establishment of tree cash crop plantations causes significant alterations to soil organic carbon (SOC)
dynamics. Despite this recognition, the current Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) tier 1 method has a SOC change factor
of 1 (no SOC loss) for conversion of forests to perennial tree crops,
because of scarcity of SOC data.
“Could soils help save the climate?” – 2018 – Deutsche Welle
Soils are a double-edged climate sword. They are huge reservoirs of organic carbon and can act as a carbon sink. But they can also release CO2 into the atmosphere when used unsustainably.
