Climate change impact on winter wheat yield
and nitrogen leaching
Preliminary analysis
Tove Heidmann & Jørgen E. OlesenDepartment of Agroecology
Methods
Daisy model Simulations for selected regions in
Europe Baseline climate data from
MARS/STAT database at JRC (1976-2004)
Future climate data from ENSEMBLES Two crops: winter wheat and spring
barley
MARS/STAT grid
Thresholds
20 % decrease in yield
10 % decrease in yield
Nitrogen leaching > 25 kg N/ha
Example - preliminary work
Future climate data from perturbed physics experiment (2050-70)
Two locations: Denmark and South Germany
Crop: winter wheat Fertilisation: optimum N rate Soil type: same soil type at both sites
(14 % clay in top soil)

Remarks
Baseline climate from 1976-2004, should be 1960-90
CO2 concentration not included in simulations
Preliminary conclusion
Calculations of nitrogen leaching is more sensitive to seasonal variation in climate data than the calculations of crop yields.
Future work
Seasonal relationships between meteorological variables in future climate data will be investigated
Include CO2-concentrations, fixed for each time period
Include the seasonal variation in climate in the calculations
Simulations with two crops: winter wheat and spring barley
Simulations for more locations and local soil types
