The impact of climate change on agricultural yields and cropland
Project
Project code: TI-KB-08-KB-2021-2386
Contract period: 01.01.2021
- 31.03.2022
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
The dry years in the past have brought climate change induced impacts on agricultural yields into the focus of public attention. But, how does climate change effect yields and what follows for adaptation strategies? The joint research project together with the Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD), the Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI) and the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) generates model-based, quantitative and spatially disaggregated simulations of potential changes in yields of the most important German crops until the mid of the century. It does not only account for yield impacts from continuous changes in climate parameters but also the impact of an increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. The generated information about the potential regional and national yield effects provides the basis for developing effective adaptation strategies.
