Abstract: The dairy sector contributed $19.9 (CAD) billion to Canada's GDP in 2015, but the industry has come under increasing public scrutiny regarding its environmental and economic sustainability, particularly under climate change. The Fraser Valley region of British Columbia, Canada, a high-intensity dairy producing region, is projected to experience higher winter, spring and summer temperatures and increased precipitation, particularly in fall, with implications for nitrogen (N) cycling within agroecosystems, crop and livestock production.
