Climate change

Temperature
Increases in temperature will affect evapotranspiration
Rainfall patterns
Rainfall patterns are forecast to change [1][2]. Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves have been forecast for a number of urban areas in Southern Ontario[3]
Vegetation
Increased atmospheric CO2 levels will stimulate photosynthetic processes, increasing phosphorus uptake of all plants[4].
