Title: Symposium--the Agmip Project: Comparison of Model Approaches to Simulation of Crop Response to Global Climate Change Effects of Carbon Dioxide, Water and Temperature

Lead Community Sponsor: Global Climate Change Community
Cosponsor:
Community Cosponsor: Soil-Plant-Water Relations Community, Model Applications in Field Research Community
Format: Oral Symposium
Keywords: Climate ChangeModelTemperatureWater use

Session Description: Future projected changes in CO2 and temperature and water availability will have a large impact on crop growth and yield. It is not clear how much of the expected changes in plant growth and development are captured by current simulation models. The goal of this symposia is to provide information on how different models respond to changes in climate change variables.
