7 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) Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004 Non-linear response in both types.

8 Compensating effects of climate change reflected in models CO 2 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) Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004

9 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

10 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

11 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) Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004

12 Changing uncertainty levels Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography 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

13 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 Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004

14 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 Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004

15 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 Agricultural Impact studies in areas of complex orography CAgM EXPERT TEAM MEETING, Geneva 15-18 Nov. 2004

19 Filters Varieties (CVs) with different cold requirements for flower induction: spring (Anza) vs winter (Marius) cultivars enhancing the important differences in T (Tmin) in winter Winter wheat: vernalization needs have to be fulfilled.
