Dear all I would like to study the impact of climate change scenario in our region using crop growth simulation models. But most of the simulation models (CERES, ORYZA etc) estimate phenology, yield and yield attributes, with the assumption that suppose 1 degree increase of mean temperature means it considers adding of 1 degree increase of temperature to the normal temperature from sowing to harvest period. But as for as the global temperature is concerned, this assumption is somewhat true. For regional level, there may be increase of temperature during the initial period of the crop ie. during tillering period after that there may be decrease. In that case, I would like all your attention, what will be the next step and also how this can be solved? Thanks to all With regards, N.
