Les impacts des changements climatiques sont déjà perceptibles sur des systèmes naturels et humains comme la viticulture. Bien que l'activité viticole soit fortement influencée par l'homme, l'analyse des données agroclimatiques issues des réseaux de mesures (sur plusieurs décennies) ont permis d'évaluer l'impact de l'évolution climatique sur la viticulture mondiale. Dans la plupart des régions viticoles, la vigne «a répondu» au réchauffement climatique par une avancée des stades phénologiques, par une diminution de l'acidité des raisins et par une augmentation de la teneur en sucre [...] 2, record 1, French, - donn%C3%A9es%20agroclimatiques

There is a strong consensus that projected changes in climate could result in longer and warmer frost-free periods across Canada and, thereby, generally enhance thermal regimes for commercial agriculture. These changes in agro-climatic conditions are not expected to impact regions on an equal basis, with the longest extensions of the frost-free season expected in Atlantic Canada. The extent to which these longer and warmer frost-free seasons might benefit Canada, however, will in all likelihood be diminished by less soil moisture in all regions and under all climate change projection. Hence, it is crucial that all assessments of the implications of climatic change for Canadian agriculture take account of the possibility of both negative and positive impacts on agro-climatic properties. 2, record 5, English, - agroclimatic%20conditions

The assessment of a site's or region's agroclimatic potential has been difficult to achieve. Traditional systems such as the Köeppen classification, while focused on the climate, made no effort to relate to agricultural suitability. Other more recent systems, such as the Storie system or the Canada Land Inventory have attempted to integrate the climate with other soil and landscape factors. This has resulted in an assessment that is qualitative, subjective and with an inherent bias towards grain production. The results of this have been erroneous or misleading assessments in many parts of the country. 1, record 10, English, - region%27s%20agroclimatic%20potential
