Session Description: Diversification of crop rotations is considered an option to increase the resilience of crop production under climate change. Carry-over effects may influence crop performance especially under water or nutrient limited conditions. Aspects of adaptation, mitigation and environmental protections can only be considered by running models continuously over a longer period. Emissions mainly occur during phases when crop growth is low or absent. Moreover, the design of cropping systems has long term effects on soil carbon sequestration, nutrient dynamics and soil properties. The symposium should combine aspects of experimental experiences and modelling results in conjunction with long term field experiment data.
