Climate Change Impacts On The Potential Productivity Of Corn And Winter Wheat In Their Primary United States Growing Regions, Robert Brown, Norman Rosenberg
Climate Change Impacts On The Potential Productivity Of Corn And Winter Wheat In Their Primary United States Growing Regions, Robert Brown, Norman Rosenberg
Dr Robert Brown
We calculate the impacts of climate effects inferred from three atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) at three levels of climate change severity associated with change in global mean temperature (GMT) of 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 _C and three levels of atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) – 365 (no CO2 fertilization effect), 560 and 750 ppm – on the potential production of dryland winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) for the primary (current) U.S. growing regions of each crop. This analysis is a subset of the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM) which has the goal of integrating the …
