Article Synopsis
- Climate change impact assessments often face uncertainties from various sources, including climate projections and inadequacies in model parameters.
- A new study developed a triple-ensemble probabilistic assessment using seven crop models, multiple parameters, and eight climate projections to evaluate the impact on barley growth and yield in Finland and Spain for the 2050s.
- The results showed varied effects on yield, with a median change of -4% in Finland and +16% in Spain, highlighting that crop model structure contributed most to the uncertainty in outcomes, offering insights for model users on where to focus their efforts.
Background: Plant structural (i.e. architectural) models explicitly describe plant morphology by providing detailed descriptions of the display of leaf and stem surfaces within heterogeneous canopies and thus provide the opportunity for modelling the functioning of plant organs in their microenvironments.
