For those attending the ASA-CSSA-SSSA meetings in Tampa, please join us
at the AgMIP Special Session:
Symposium--Perspectives on Climate Effects on Agriculture: The
International Efforts of AgMIP
Monday, November 4, 2013: 8:00 AM-4:10 PM
Marriott Tampa Waterside, Grand Ballroom H
The Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP)
was developed to begin to evaluate crop models and intercompare their
ability to predict climate impacts on crop production. Currently there
are efforts to improve these models through better understanding of the
CO2 x temperature x water interactions on plant growth and development.
This aspect is critical to ensure models can adequately address plant
response to the changing climate. This session is established to provide
a forum for exchange of results from different regions and cropping
systems around the world. AgMIP has grown into a project which has
participants from 40 countries and this session will allow these groups
to share their information and results in order to develop interactions
and collaborations at the global scale. One of the outcomes of this
session will be the third volume in the Handbook on Climate Change which
will include chapters from the presenters in this session.
