Modelling climate change impacts on agricultural systems

Editor

Dr Claas Nendel heads the Research Group on Landscape Modelling at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), Germany. He is also Professor of Landscape Systems Analysis at the University of Potsdam. Dr Nendel is the Past President of the European Society of Agronomy and hosted, among other events, the first International Crop Modelling Symposium in Berlin in 2016. He is principal developer of the MONICA model which simulates biophysical processes in agroecosystems to allow assessment of regional impacts of climate change, and is internationally known for his contribution to agroecosystem modelling.

What others are saying...

“This book covers a lot of ground in its exploration of the way climate change is affecting agriculture: from population genetic approaches looking at yield effects to global ensemble models coupling climate and crop models. It examines issues from the small scale, via regional to global; and explores current approaches and the gaps that need to be filled to make projections more robust. The book provides a useful overview of the area, allowing readers to judge the extent to which we really understand how climate change will affect agriculture in years to come, and what we need to do better in order to do so.” (Professor Tim Benton, Research Director, Emerging Risks and Director of the Environment and Society Programme, Chatham House, UK)
