Projected Beneficial Impacts
qIncreased potential crop yields
in some regions at mid-latitudes for increases in temperature of less than a few °C.
qA potential increase in global
timber supply from appropriately
managed forests.
qIncreased water availability for
populations in some water-scarce regions—for example, in parts of southeast Asia
qReduced winter mortality in mid- and high-latitudes.
qReduced energy demand for space
heating due to higher winter
temperatures.
