چکیده
projected global climate change may have a major influence on crop yield. the likely effects of climate change caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels on rice yield in iran were evaluated using a mechanistic growth model for rice, gsac-rice, running under a climate change scenario predicted for a doubled-co2 (2xco2) atmosphere by the geophysical fluid dynamics laboratory (gfdl) general circulation model (gcm). simulations were run for two locations with contrasting climates, one in the north (rasht) and one in the south (ahwaz) of iran. gfdl predicted that as a result of doubling co2 , temperature increases by 4.5 and 4.6 0c during the rice growing season in rasht and ahwaz, respectively. changes in solar radiation are minor, but rainfall during the rice growing season decreases by 38.8% (102 mm) for rasht and 68.2% (5.8 mm) for ahwaz. it was predicted that doubling [co2] alone increased rice yield by 30%, but that yield decreases by 3.7 and 11.6% for each degree centigrade rise in temperature in rasht and ahwaz, respectively. as a result of the combined effect of both doubling [co2] and the climate change accompanying it (predicted with gfdl), 8% greater rice could be produced in rasht, but irrigation needs would be increased dramatically by 57%. in ahwaz (the south of iran), rice production could be halved and might not even remain a viable option unless plant breeders are able to produce more heat tolerant rice cultivars. it was concluded that rice production in the north and south of the country would change dramatically.

In recent decades, there have been substantial increases in crop production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as a result of higher yields, increased cropping intensity, expansion of irrigated cropping systems, and rainfed cropland expansion. Yet, to date much of the research focus of the impact of climate change on crop production in the coming decades has been on crop yield responses. In this study...

ISSN: 1652-6880, ISBN: 978-91-576-7388-6 It is well known that soil carbon stocks decrease considerably in response to soil warming, but experimental data have shown that the loss of carbon declines within decades in apparent acclimation. An explanation to such findin...
