Pastura natural de salto (Uruguay): relación con la variabilidad climática y análisis de contextos futuros de cambio climático

This work aimed to evaluate the relationship between natural pasture yield and climate variability in the district of Salto (Uruguay), and to analyze the possible implications of future climate change. Daily and monthly data from Salto meteorological station for the period 1961-1990 were used together with experimental data of pasture yield for the period 1980-1994. Moreover, NCEP reanalyses of daily data as well as daily outputs from General Circulation Models HadCM3 and CSIRO-Mk2 were analyzed. The simple correlations between the climatic variables and the pasture yield confirm in quantitati...
