      note = {The Midwest Regional Climate Hub covers the States of  Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,  Ohio, and Wisconsin and represents one of the most  extensive and intensive agricultural systems in the world  (Figure 1). The Northern Forests Climate Sub Hub shares  this footprint and represents people working and living in  these widespread northern forests, which store vast amounts  of carbon even as they support industry, recreation, and  cultural values.},
      abstract = {Excerpts:  Crops grown in the Midwest range from alfalfa  to wheat, and from sweet corn and specialty crops to  perennial crops.  Each has its own sensitivity to weather  within a growing season; however, the most sensitive stages  are crop establishment and harvesting.  The Midwest  produces a large number of pigs, turkeys, dairy, beef,  broilers, and layers.  These livestock systems are also  sensitive to the weather variations during the year and, in  particular, hot weather during the summer.  Forests cover a  large expanse of the Midwest ranging from boreal forests  around the northern Great Lakes to oak-hickory forests of  the Ozarks.  The Midwest is characterized by savannas and  open woodlands, which mark a major transition zone between  forest and grassland biomes within the U.S.  Variations in  weather and ultimately climate affect all agricultural and  forest systems.  They include temperature extremes, excess  or deficit precipitation, severe storms, and wind.  The  Midwest Regional Climate Hub is working across a range of  crops, forests, and livestock production systems to  assemble the available information into tools and practices  that can increase the resilience of these systems to  climate change.},
