Description

This study predicts yields in the Central Valley for a number of different crops under the A2 (medium-high) and B1 (low) emission scenarios using complex ecosystem modeling that integrates crop growth, nutrient dynamics, hydrology, management and climate. This is a state-funded research study sponsored by the California Energy Commission, CAT, and CDFA.
