Abstract:
This paper describes results from studies to understand the implication of differences in modeling detail on simulation results. It further presents selected results on the effect of input data aggregation on simulations for models with different detail. The considered results suggest that modeling detail should depend on input data resolution. However, more systematic analyses are required to enable formalization of changing modeling detail with the scale of model application. As crop models in food security assessment studies are typically used in conjunction with other models, progress in large scale crop modeling will also depend on the data demands of other models (e.g. economic models) to which crop models are linked to.
