Summary: This study evaluates the economic impacts of fluctuations in anchovy catch in Gyeong-Nam province, South Korea, due to warming seawater, by combining an IRIO model and SES to project the price and quantity of anchovies. The research finds that estimates of economic impacts may be biased if only quantity change is considered without accounting for price responses, filling a critical gap in previous IO-based economic impact analyses of fisheries.

Summary: Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and intensity, impacting coral reef fisheries indirectly through habitat degradation. A study found that the 2016 heatwave had both direct and indirect effects on the Great Barrier Reef's largest reef fishery, with temperature affecting fish catch rates and biomass. The research highlighted the potential large effect of heatwaves on catch rates of reef fishes, independent of changes in reef habitats.

Summary: Douglas-fir, a non-native tree species, has the potential to replace Norway spruce in Slovenian forests due to its better volume growth, wood quality, and tolerance to drought. It shows a higher radial growth response to climatic conditions and is more resistant to extreme drought events.

Summary: The majority of the global human population resides in coastal regions, making climate risk analysis crucial for supporting adaptation. A study on the European fisheries sector identified the most at-risk fishing fleets and coastal regions. Different countries face diverse challenges posed by climate change, thus requiring tailored climate adaptation measures.

Summary: Many marine species are shifting their distributions in response to changing ocean conditions, which poses challenges for fisheries management. Species distribution models (SDMs) are used to project future distributions, but there is concern that fishery-dependent data may bias predictions. Understanding the strengths and limitations of SDMs based on fishery-dependent data is critical due to limited resources for fishery-independent surveys.

Summary: This paper contributes to the analysis of climate change risk in European cities and regions by developing a new spatially-explicit typology of climate risk. The analysis reveals an uneven distribution of climate change risk across countries, highlights the differences in risk characteristics between urban and rural areas, and identifies patterns of spatial clustering in climate change risk.

Summary: The European Union has implemented the landing obligation for all species subject to quota in order to ensure long term harvest in a healthy marine environment. The economic analysis shows significant impact of the landing obligation on small and micro-enterprises in the Spanish fleet fishing in the Celtic Sea.

Summary: This study found that crop diversity can increase the stability of agricultural production, especially in regions with large areas equipped for irrigation and low soil type diversity. The stabilizing effect of nitrogen use was substantially higher at the European level, while the relationship between crop diversity and stability was weak in Germany.

Summary: Aquaculture managers and industry need to consider the impact of climate change on production and environmental quality for sustainable sector growth. Climate change can have varied effects on growth of different species in different regions, with increasing economic uncertainty expected in the future projections.

Summary: The impact of climate change on economic productivity through extreme temperatures and emissions levels has been studied using panel and time series techniques. Results show a negative effect of temperature on income and a positive effect of emissions on income. The study emphasizes the importance of economic structural change towards green growth for emission reduction.

Summary: This study used bibliometric analysis to explore the trends, themes, impacts, and potential scopes for further studies on the effects of climate change on economic vulnerability. The findings revealed an increasing trend in publications and identified several themes, such as exposure, sensitivity, drought, and flood. The study also identified research gaps and provided opportunities for further research.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of climate change on fisheries in the Czech Republic by examining changes in water temperature and their effects on fish farming. A model was developed to calculate surface water temperature based on air temperature, and the results showed that there will be a sharp increase in temperature regimes, posing challenges to traditional forms of common carp farming. Adaptation measures will be necessary to mitigate the impact of rising water temperatures.

Summary: A novel framework was proposed and implemented to evaluate the environmental and economic benefits of pig-cooling strategies in a whole farm context. The study conducted on a pig fattening farm in south Sweden showed that both pig-cooling strategies significantly reduced system environmental impact and improved farm profitability.

Summary: The ecological and social dimensions of fisheries are being impacted by climate change. This study aims to identify key attributes of resilience in fisheries and connect them to social-ecological outcomes. By assessing 18 case studies, the researchers found that attributes such as population abundance, learning capacity, and responsive governance were the most important for building resilience. They also developed a typology and identified five fishery archetypes to guide stakeholders in improving resilience. Two pathways to resilience were observed: building ecological assets and strengthening communities, or building economic assets and improving governance.
