Modeling climate change impacts on crop growth and yield formation

Description

The aim of this chapter is to briefly illustrate current practices in modeling crop yield as a response to climate change and what has been learnt so far, especially in terms of multi-model assessment and comparisons. For additional information, readers are directed to the “Where to look for further information” section for links and references.
