Mathematical models, such as the DNDC (DeNitrification DeComposition) model, are powerful tools that increasingly being used to examine potential impacts of management and climate change in agriculture. can simulate processes responsible for production, consumption transport nitrous oxide (N2O). During last 20 years has been modified adapted by various research groups around world suit specific purposes circumstances. In this paper we review different versions model including models...
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...
We present a conceptual synthesis of the impact that agricultural activity in India can have on land‐atmosphere interactions through irrigation. illustrate “bottom up” approach to evaluate effects land use change both physical processes and human vulnerability. compared vapor fluxes (estimated evaporation transpiration) from pre‐agricultural contemporary cover found mean annual increased by 17% (340 km 3 ) with 7% increase (117 wet season 55% (223 dry season. Two thirds this was attributed...

Soils have the potential to sequester and store significant amounts of carbon, contributing towards climate change mitigation. Soil carbon markets are emerging pay farmers for management changes that absorb atmospheric governed by codes ensure eligibility, additionality permanence whilst protecting against leakage reversals. This paper presents first global comparative analysis farmland soil codes, providing new insights into range approaches governing this marketplace. To do this, developed...

Abstract. Forests are important components of the greenhouse gas balance Europe. There is considerable uncertainty about how predicted changes to climate and nitrogen deposition will perturb carbon cycles European forests thereby alter forest growth, sequestration N2O emission. The present study aimed quantify balance, including exchange gases, over period 2010–2030, with a particular emphasis on spatial variability change. analysis was carried out for two tree species: beech Scots pine. For...
Agent based models (ABMs) simulate actions and interactions of autonomous agents/groups their effect on systems as a whole, accounting for learning without assuming perfect rationality or complete knowledge. ABMs are an increasingly popular approach to studying complex, spatially distributed socio-environmental systems, but have still become established in the sense being one that is expected by those wanting explore scenarios such systems. Partly, this issue awareness – ABM new enough many...
Abstract Climate change is an existential global reality that placing considerable stress on agriculture sectors. With the recognition of impacts climate food security, there has been a greater uptake controlled environment (CEA) to provide climate‐resilient and high‐quality production. Vertical farming (VF) can allow primary production in urban locations as well reducing seasonality variability produce. It emerging alternative traditional methods. This research aimed explore major...
