Short survey Scaling-up crop models for climate variability applications$
Although most dynamic crop models have been developed and tested for the scale of a homogeneous plot, applications related to climate variability are often at broader spatial scales that can incorporate considerable heterogeneity. This study reviews issues and approaches related to applying crop models at scales larger than the plot. Perfect aggregate prediction at larger scales requires perfec...
متن کاملCrop and pasture response to climate change.
We review recent research of importance to understanding crop and pasture plant species response to climate change. Topics include plant response to elevated CO(2) concentration, interactions with climate change variables and air pollutants, impacts of increased climate variability and frequency of extreme events, the role of weeds and pests, disease and animal health, issues in biodiversity, a...
متن کاملUnderstanding vegetation response to climate variability from space with hyper-spectral, multi-angular observations
The dimensionality of hyper-spectral, multi-angular radiometric data carries the potential of providing accurate observations of multiple variables to characterize the soil – vegetation atmosphere system. This potential has been explored during the period 1997 – 2005 towards the definition of a land mission by the European Space Agency ESA).
متن کاملUnderstanding variability in crop response to fertilizer and amendments in sub-Saharan Africa
Improved understanding of soil fertility factors limiting crop productivity is important to develop appropriate soil and nutrient management recommendations in sub-Saharan Africa. Diagnostic trials were implemented in Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria and Tanzania, as part of the African Soils Information Service (AfSIS) project, to identify soil fertility constraints to crop production across vario...
متن کاملUnderstanding complex biogeographic responses to climate change
Predicting the extent and direction of species' range shifts is a major priority for scientists and resource managers. Seminal studies have fostered the notion that biological systems responding to climate change-impacted variables (e.g., temperature, precipitation) should exhibit poleward range shifts but shifts contrary to that expectation have been frequently reported. Understanding whether ...
