Description:
Abstract:
Datasets from a Major Crop Modeling Study contain projected country and regional changes in grain crop yields due to global climate change. Equilibrium and transient scenarios output from General Circulation Models (GCMs) with three levels of farmer adaptations to climate change were utilized to generate crop yield estimates of wheat, rice, coarse grains (barley and maize), and protein feed (soybean) at 125 agricultural sites representing major world agricultural regions. Projected yields at the agricultural sites were aggregated to major trading regions, and fed into the Basic Linked Systems (BLS) global trade model to produce country and regional estimates of potential price increases, food shortages, and risk of hunger. These datasets are produced by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) and are distributed by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).
Purpose: To provide an assessment of potential climate change impacts on world crop production, including quantitative estimates of yield changes of major food.
Supplemental Information:
Data limitations are listed at http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/giss_crop_study/CCMdatalimits.html. Query tools are provided for accessing the data. Two scenarios -- HadCM2(97)gg (the ensemble-mean for the HadCM2 model forced with greenhouse gas concentrations from the IS95a emission scenario) and HadCM2(97)gs (the same as the "gg" version but includes the simulation of the effects of sulphate aerosols which are expected to attenuate the warming influence of increased CO2 concentrations) -- were removed from the query tool in January 2007 owing to problems with the crop response data.
