We show the error in water-limited yields simulated by crop models which is associated with spatially aggregated soil and climate input data. Crop simulations at large scales (regional, national, continental) frequently use data of low resolution. Therefore, are often generated via averaging sampling area majority. This may bias scales, varying largely across models. Thus, we evaluated for 14 Yields winter wheat silage maize were under production conditions. calculated this from spatial...
Simulation models are extensively used to predict agricultural productivity and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the uncertainties of (reduced) model ensemble simulations have not been assessed systematically for variables affecting food security climate change mitigation, within multi-species contexts. We report an international comparison benchmarking exercise, showing potential multi-model ensembles nitrous oxide (N2 O) emissions wheat, maize, rice temperate grasslands. Using a...

Process-based cropping systems models (CSMs) are key components of measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV) frameworks carbon markets, but their application suffers from model-specific differences that keep any one model working well across all combinations soils, climates, crops, agronomic practices at varying scales. Multi-model ensemble (MME), successfully used to quantify soil, management climate impact on crop productivity, provide an opportunity better estimate...
The traditional agriculture production system in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) caused significant soil erosion and degradation of quality. In addition, dependability rainfall for irrigation needs limits the crop production. Advanced agricultural practices are thus needed at local level to sustain livelihood smallholder farmers region. this study, conservation (CA) practice with drip technology was compared (using field experiments watershed modeling) conventional tillage (CT) its potential...
