In this edition (May 2010) of Climate ready – horticulture we summarise the recently released CSIRO/Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) report, State of the Climate, which concludes that climate change is “real”. And, in keeping with the theme of “erratic” weather, we also review a BoM report which explains the “drivers” behind the November 2009 heatwave.

Welcome to the first edition of Climate Ready, a quarterly eNewsletter that aims to inform you about climate change and variability, water availability, extreme weather and carbon emissions.

What an amazing couple of weeks the State has had with flash floods and welcome run-offs into catchments that have been dwindling for years. Our feature story is most timely as it explains the current La Nina event and what it means for Victoria’s horticulturists and farming regions

Welcome to the 4th edition of the Climate ready horticulture e-Newsletter. Victoria has seen extreme weather events over the past month resulting in devastating consequences for various fruit crops. Floods, hailstorms and disease have played havoc on grapes, apples, stonefruit and cherries.

Floods and heavy rains have plagued many Victorian growers over the past few months. In this edition our stories address soil recovery with a particular focus on nutrient leaching, especially nitrogen fertiliser.

In this Edition: Weighing the costs and benefits of climate change action, Horticulture growers will feel the pinch with climate change, Finding the balance between climate change and food security in Australia, No weather surprises predicted this winter, Growers told to prepare now for the coming irrigation season, ground breaking research set to find smoke impact on Victorian grapes and wine......and more.
