| Description: |
Declining wind speeds in parts of the United States could impact more than the wind power industry, say Iowa State University climate researchers. Crops, for example, depend on the wind for ventilation and cooling. Slower winds could mean higher field temperatures and less productive crops. Slower winds could also mean more dew covering crops for longer periods. That could mean problems with fungus and plant disease. [Source: ScienceDaily]
