The use of statistical climate-crop models for simulating yield to project the impacts of CO/sub 2/ induced climate change

Technical Report Decker, W L ; Achutuni, R

This report describes the use of mathematical models to forecast the effects of increased CO/sub 2/ concentration in the atmosphere. These models were created to predict crop yields under different climatic conditions. The authors have adapted them to consider climatic changes caused by the ''greenhouse effect.'' Principal climatic variables include monthly precipitation and temperature range. 40 refs., 5 figs., 4 tabs. (TEM)
Global Market and Economic Welfare Implications of Changes in Agricultural Yields Due to Climate Change

Journal Article Calvin, Katherine V. ; Mignone, Bryan ; Kheshgi, Haroon ; ... - Climate Change Economics

The economic welfare effects of climate change on global agriculture will be mediated by several complex biophysical and economic processes. For a given emissions scenario, these include: (1) the response of the climate system to anthropogenic forcing, (2) the response of crop yields to climate system and carbon dioxide changes, given baseline improvements in crop yields, (3) the response of agricultural markets to crop yield changes, and (4) the economic welfare implications of such market responses. In this paper, we use information about the first two processes from available climate-crop model comparison studies to analyze implications for the third andmore »« less

Impacts of climate change on rice yield: A comparison of four model performances

Technical Report Bachelet, D ; Gay, C A

Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases are expected to modify temperature and rainfall the next 50-100 years. Mechanisms and hypotheses of plant response to these changes could be incorporated in models predicting crop yield estimates to better understand potential consequences of such changes. Asia is particularly important since demographic forecasts indicate rice supplies worldwide will need to increase by 1.6% annually to the year 2000 to match population growth estimates. The objectives of the paper are (1) review the major hypotheses and/or experimental results regarding rice sensitivity to climate change and (2) evaluate the suitability ofmore »« less
Simulated vs. empirical weather responsiveness of crop yields: US evidence and implications for the agricultural impacts of climate change

Journal Article Mistry, Malcolm N. ; Wing, Ian Sue ; De Cian, Enrica - Environmental Research Letters

Global gridded crop models (GGCMs) are the workhorse of assessments of the agricultural impacts of climate change. Yet the changes in crop yields projected by different models in response to the same meteorological forcing can differ substantially. Through an inter-method comparison, we provide a first glimpse into the origins and implications of this divergence—both among GGCMs and between GGCMs and historical observations. We examine yields of rainfed maize, wheat, and soybeans simulated by six GGCMs as part of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project-Fast Track (ISIMIP-FT) exercise, comparing 1981–2004 hindcast yields over the coterminous United States (US) against US Departmentmore »« less

Integrated Assessment of Hadley Centre (HadCM2) Climate Change Projections on Agricultural Productivity and Irrigation Water Supply in the Conterminous United States.I. Climate change scenarios and impacts on irrigation water supply simulated with the HUMUS model.

Journal Article Rosenberg, Norman J ; Brown, Robert A ; Izaurralde, R Cesar C ; ... - Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, (117):73-96

This paper describes methodology and results of a study by researchers at PNNL contributing to the water sector study of the U.S. National Assessment of Climate Change. The vulnerability of water resources in the conterminous U.S. to climate change in 10-y periods centered on 2030 and 2095--as projected by the HadCM2 general circulation model--was modeled with HUMUS (Hydrologic Unit Model of the U.S.). HUMUS consists of a GIS that provides data on soils, land use and climate to drive the hydrology model Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The modeling was done at the scale of the 2101 8-digit USGS hydrologicmore »« less
