West Midlands Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries

    Increased average temperatures and an extended growing season may allow the cultivation of a wider range of crops, including some more valuable varieties than those currently suitable for the Scottish climate.

    Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, precipitation and temperature may all help to increase growth rates and productivity in Scottish forestry (Broadmeadow 2000).

    Possibly major impact on slamon and sea trout breeding and distribution due to changing water temperatures and oceanic circulation.
