Climate

A drop in crop yields and the extinction of the Western Mouse by 2070 are just two of the predicted impacts of climate change in the Wheatbelt.

Climate change is likely to be a major contributor to biodiversity loss in the Wheatbelt. Species that have specialised requirements or a restricted habitat are most vulnerable to extinction.

On the heels of a pretty bad frost season in terms of crop damage for parts our region, it appears the predicted rising temperatures of spring may also pose a challenge for farmers; in the same growing season.

Tool launched to help carbon plantings add value to the Wheatbelt.

Wheatbelt NRM will be presenting two workshops at this year’s Wheatbelt Science Forum in Wongan Hills.
