Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Crop models used in PRUDENCE • Physiological type models: DSSAT3.5-CERES (mechanistic model; Jones et. al., 2003) • Cropping system-type model: CropSyst (simpler model; Stockle et al., 2003) Non-linear response in both types. CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Compensating effects of climate change reflected in models • CO2 increase (for a given T) • Increase in photosynthetic rates • Decrease in Transpiration rates (ET) • T increase - Increase in evapotranspiration (ET) - Shorter crop cycles (thermal time) CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Crop models used in PRUDENCE INPUTS: • Daily weather data: SR, Tmax, Tmin, P (Optional: VPD, wind speed) • Soil profile caracteristics LL, DUL & SAT (for each soil layer) • Species charaterisitics (eg wheat) and variety (eg cv. Anza, Marius) Genetic coefficients that allow to define thousands of genotypes • Soil initial conditions (soil water content) CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Crop simulations • Climate change impact assessment - Use of winter (wheat) vs summer crops (maize) to discriminate between seasons • Crop management (Irrigated and Rainfed) for changing uncertainty levels CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Adding Uncertainties • from the RCMs predictions • from the crop models per se • from the extrapolation of crop models, tested within a limited sample of real conditions to a much larger domain • soil profiles (DUL, LL, SAT and depth) CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Changing uncertainty levels Greater uncertainty level: rain-fed systems • Rainfall data • Soil profiles: LL, DUL, SAT, depth • Initial soil conditions • Crop responses to water stress CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Smaller uncertainty level: irrigated systems (if water available) • Potential yield simulation (elimination of water stress) • Spatial variability in soil textures and depth has much less influence in yield • Rainfall predictions do not affect yields Effect of Tmax, Tmin and SR CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Crop model calibration and validation has to focus on the main processes involved at crop and cropping systems level • phenology, biomass and yield • ETc and net irrigation requirements CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Spatial scales with impact models • Crop model calibration and validation: Site-specific Some agricultural areas outside the calibration (validation) • Crop models generate data within the range recorded by MAPYA CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004

Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Some conclusions • Regions/areas show similar yield trends in many RCM models • Influence in rainfed crops of Tmin vs rainfall • All models detect winter vs spring wheat • Higher resolution: more differences among soil polygons CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography Still working on: • A2, B2 scenarios • 50 km vs 25 km (grid) • Other forcings: try different GCMs with the same RCM. THANK YOU CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004
