Title: Quantifying the effects of climate extremes on the future yield gap
Abstract: Future yield is expected to be affected by climate change via changes in climatic variable means (notably changes in temperature and precipitation), but more importantly, via changes in frequencies and amplitudes of extremes on various spatiotemporal scales (like frosts, droughts, heat waves). Quantification of effects of extremes and future changes therein is very relevant to estimate effects on the current and future yield gap. Approach (cont.) 2/ Quantification We use output of several GCMs consisting of time series (2010-2100) of six climate variables driven by different high and low end scenarios. This represents uncertainty w.r.t climate processes and CO2 emissions.
