Climate change may affect livestock production-particularly cattle-by changing the available herbaceous biomass (nonwoody plants such as grasses that are consumed by livestock) on rangelands. This report estimates changes in herbaceous biomass on rangelands by 2050, under a high-greenhouse gas concentration climate change scenario. This report also estimates how these changes may affect beef and milk production globally and regionally.
Keywords: Climate change, cattle, meat production, milk production, rangelands, herbaceous biomass, simulation model, G-Range
