Resilience to climate change in Patagonia, Argentina
This study aims to broaden understanding of climate change and its impacts in Argentina. Most focus on climate change in Argentina has been in the north, where impacts are more noticeable. But this study shows how changes in the south, in the Patagonian province of Chubut, are also likely to be significant. Increasing temperature and decreasing rainfall in northwest Chubut are shifting the patterns of agricultural viability. Predominant patterns of cattle and sheep farming are likely to face increasing shortages of dry season grazing.
