Comparison of agricultural impacts of climate change calculated from high and low resolution climate change scenarios : Part I. The uncertainty due to spatial scale

We investigated the effect of two different spatial scales of climate change scenarios on crop yields simulated by the EPIC crop model for corn, soybean, and wheat, in the central Great Plains of the United States. The effect of climate change alone was investigated in Part I. In Part II (Easterling...

Zusammenfassung:We investigated the effect of two different spatial scales of climate change scenarios on crop yields simulated by the EPIC crop model for corn, soybean, and wheat, in the central Great Plains of the United States. The effect of climate change alone was investigated in Part I. In Part II (Easterling et al., 2001) we considered the effects Of CO2 fertilization effects and adaptation in addition to climate change.
