Estimating the Growing Degree Days in the Northwest of Iran based on Climate Change Models
The purpose of this study is predicting climate changes and investigating the effect of probable climate change on the growing degree-days in the northwest of Iran. For this purpose the climatic data of seven synoptic stations during a 25 years period (1985-2009) was collected including Oroomieh, Tabriz, Zanjan, Sanandaj, Ghazvin, Kermanshah, and Hamedan were used as the base period and thus te...
متن کاملDetermining suitable time for exploitation/ grazing of rangeland plants using growing degree days (GDD) model
One of the key principles in rangeland management is determination of suitable times for exploitation and grazing of rangeland plants in summer and winter pasturelands. This determination of time not only prevents degradation of plant species, but also leads to optimal usage of plant yield. Multiple factors affect plant phenology among which temperature regime has the highest effect on plant de...
متن کاملGrowing degree-days: one equation, two interpretations
Heat units, expressed in growing degree-days (GDD), are frequently used to describe the timing of biological processes. The basic equation used is GDD = [(T,,, + TM,,)/2] T,,,,, where T, and T,,, are daily maximum and minimum air temperature, respectively, and T,, is the base temperature. Two methods of interpreting this equation for calculating GDD are: (1) if the daily mean temperature is les...
متن کاملPhotoperiod and growing degree days effect on dry matter partitioning in Jerusalem artichoke
The effect of photoperiod and growing degree days (GDD) on dry matter and dry matter partitioning in Jerusalem artichoke was investigated during 2008-09 and 2009-10. Three Jerusalem artichoke genotypes (CN-52867, JA-89 and HEL-65) were planted in 15 day-intervals between with thirteen different dates (September 20 to March 20) atKhon Kaen University,Thailand. Jerusalem artichoke genotypes ...
متن کاملGIS-based analysis of spatial distribution patterns of growing degree-days for agricultural applications in Iran
The geographical distribution of growing degree-days (GDDs) within Iran was studied using GIS-based maps. GDDs were calculated using daily thermal parameters (daily maximum and minimum air temperature). Based on the purpose of the study and climatic conditions of Iran, the average value of 5?C was chosen for GDD calculation. The calculations were carried out using daily weather data of 113 mete...
