MANAGING Tough Times
Climate Change -- Adaptation
Efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change will have little effect over the next 50 years.
Changes during this period have already been set in motion by past greenhouse gas emissions.

MANAGING Tough Times
Iowa Temperature-related Changes• Longer frost-free period (high)
• Higher average winter temperatures, both daily maximum and daily minimum (high)
• Fewer extreme cold temperatures in winter (high)
• Fewer extreme high temperatures in summer in short term but more in longterm (medium)
• Higher nighttime temperatures both summer and winter (high)
• More freeze-thaw cycles (high)
• Increased temperature variability (high)

MANAGING Tough Times
Iowa Precipitation-related Changes• More (~10%) precipitation annually and during the growing
season (medium) • Most of the increase will come in the first half of the year
(wetter springs, drier or little change in summers) (high) • More water-logging of soils (medium) • More variability of summer precipitation (high)
– More intense rain events and hence more runoff (high) – Higher episodic streamflow (medium) – Longer periods without rain (medium)
• Higher absolute humidity (high) • Stronger storm systems (medium) • Snowfall increases (late winter) in short term but decreases in
long run(medium) • More winter soil moisture recharge (medium)

MANAGING Tough Times
Iowa Other Changes• Reduced wind speeds (high) • Reduced solar radiation (medium) • Increased tropospheric ozone (high) • Accelerated loss of soil carbon (high) • Faster plant growth and development to maturity (high) • Weeds and vines grow more rapidly under elevated
atmospheric CO2 (high) • Weeds migrate northward and are less sensitive to
herbicides (high) • Plants have increased water-use efficiency (high) • Combinations of conditions and pathogens more
favorable for development of toxins (medium)

Limiting greenhouse gas emissions now will only affect climate change in the long-term (beyond 50 years).
