The sensitivity of major cereal and tree crops Patient to changes in temperature, moisture and CO2 concentration of the magnitudes projected for the region Cause has been demonstrated in many studies. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

These and other related programs have already contributed substantially to our understanding of the global climate system and the ¸ sensitivity of ecosystems and human society Patient to changes within it Cause . [ 5CANADAICC 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

These changes illustrate the sensitivity of regional temperatures and water resources Patient to global change Cause , but like all regional projections they are subject to considerable uncertainty and should be used with caution. [ 3CANADAENVIRON 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

This suggests that the models do not exaggerate the sensitivity of climate Patient to human influences Cause . [ 6CANADAQFP 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

The sensitivity of these coastlines Patient to the impacts of climate change Cause , particularly those due to sea level rise, is influenced by a variety of factors, particularly the regional characteristics of ocean processes, the nature of the shoreline, and whether vertical movements of the Earth's crust are causing the regional land masses to rise or sink. [ 5CANADAICC 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

The literature indicates that information about climate Patient sensitivity to greenhouse gases Cause and aerosols, climate change impact functions, and variables such as the determinants of economic growth and rates of energy efficiency improvements, is most valuable. [ 13IPCCSTABILISATIONDESGAZ 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

Their results show the sensitivity of ecosystems Patient to the treatment of water use Cause and especially the balance between changes in water availability due to climate change (often decreased availability in a warmer climate) and response to higher CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere (often increased water-use efficiency). [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

Vulnerability is a function of the sensitivity of a system Patient to changes in climate Cause (the degree to which a system will respond to a given change in climate, including both beneficial and harmful effects) and the ability to adapt the system to changes in climate (the degree to which adjustments in practices, processes or structures can moderate or offset the potential for damage or take advantage of opportunities created, due to a given change in climate). [ 7IPCCREGION 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

Given increasing demands, the prevalence and sensitivity of many simple water management systems Patient to fluctuations in precipitation and runoff Cause , and the considerable time and expense required to implement many adaptation measures, the water resources sector in many regions and countries is vulnerable to potential changes in climate. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

In addition to the reference cases, we assess the sensitivity of the various temperature and sea level results Patient to the emissions levels of CH4, N2O, and SO2 Cause , by considering different emissions cases for these gases. [ 13IPCCSTABILISATIONDESGAZ 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

The main uncertainties in deriving the land ice contribution to sea level rise from global mean temperature change are: the regional distribution of the temperature changes; the initial volume of the glaciers and ice-caps, and their Patient sensitivity to increases in temperature Cause ; and the initial state of balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and their sensitivity to temperature changes. [ 10IPCCMODELE 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

A great deal is known about the potential Descriptor sensitivity and vulnerability of particular systems and sectors Patient ; both substantial risks and potential benefits can be identified. [ 13IPCCSTABILISATIONDESGAZ 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

They also need to provide plausible scenarios of future climate which can be used to test the sensitivity of ecosystems and social infrastructures Patient and to support the challenging task of developing appropriate adaptive strategies to reduce the related risks. [ 1CANADACCD 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

Detection and attribution studies comparing model simulated changes with the observed record can now take into account uncertainty in the magnitude of modelled response to external forcing, in particular that due to uncertainty in climate Patient sensitivity. [ 11IPCCBILAN2001 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

The low, mid and high values of climate Patient sensitivity are combined with low, mid and high ice-melt parameters, respectively, to give extreme ranges. [ 13IPCCSTABILISATIONDESGAZ 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

Second, the sensitivity to CO2 Cause may change via acclimation, again potentially weakening the effect over time. [ 13IPCCSTABILISATIONDESGAZ 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

Experiments on tree species grown under elevated CO2 over several years show continued and consistent stimulation of photosynthesis and little evidence of long-term loss of sensitivity to CO2 Cause . [ 3IPCCCONSEQUENCE 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]

Sensitivity to weather and climate change Cause is high for all forms of transport. [ ENCY 0 SB MCLH 28/03/2014 ]
