Soil-plant-atmosphere interactions at the regional scale
Project
Project code: 82493343
Contract period: 01.01.2008
- 31.12.2010
Purpose of research: Basic research
Coupled atmosphere-land surface models are important tools for predicting the impact of global climate change on a regional scale. The uncertainty of regional simulations is large, however. This is, at least partly, due to deficiencies in the description of soil-plant-atmosphere interactions. In this project, we will integrate crop models with a land surface model, test the capability of the resulting model system and answer the question in which detail transport and growth processes have to be modelled to produce reliable projections of regional climatic conditions and their impact on agriculture, landscape water regime and landscape structure.
