چکیده

The authors have developed and validated a photosynthetic-sterility model for grain production monitoring under the background of climate change and Asian economic growth in developing countries. This paper presents an application of the model to evaluate car-bonfixation rates in yields of paddy rice, winter wheat, and maize in Asia. The validation of the model is based on carbon partition-ing in grain plants. The carbon hydrate in grains has the same chemical formula as that of cellulose in grain vegetation. The parti-tioning of carbon in plants can validate fixation amounts of computed carbon using a satellite-based photosynthesis model. The model estimates the photosynthesis fixation of rice reasonably in Japan and China. Results were validated through examination of carbon in grains, but the model tends to underestimate results for winter wheat and maize. This study also provides daily distribu-tions of the PSN, which is the CO2 fixation in Asian areas combined with a land-cover distribution classified from MODIS data, NDVI from SPOT VEGETATION, and meteorological re-analysis data by European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts (ECMWF). The mean CO2 and carbon fixation rates in paddy areas were 25.92 (t CO2/ha) and 5.28 (t C/ha) in Japan, respectively. Comparisons between the model’s values and MODIS seasonal PSNs show similar trends. The writers are preparing to compare computed photosynthesis rates with observed AsiaFlux data for the validation of this model at field sites of paddy, grassland and for-ests in Japan and Asian countries. The model is based on routine meteorological and remotely sensed data, enabling operational monitoring of crop yields.

Temperature and CO2 are two important parameters related to climate change, which affect crop yield. In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the impact of these two factors on the productivity of the four major cereal food crops (wheat, rice, maize and pearl millet) taking New Delhi as study area. This study also aims at identifying the most sensitive growth phase of these crops to th...

Improving farming practices reduces the carbon footprint of spring wheat production

Wheat is one of the world's most favoured food sources, reaching millions of people on a daily basis. However, its production has climatic consequences. Fuel, inorganic fertilizers and pesticides used in wheat production emit greenhouse gases that can contribute negatively to climate change. It is unknown whether adopting alternative farming practices will increase crop yield while reducing car...

Effects of climate change on water use efficiency in rain-fed plants

Water use efficiency (WUE) reflects the coupling of the carbon and water cycles and is an effective integral trait for assessing the responses of vegetated ecosystems to climate change. In this study, field experiments were performed to examine leaf WUE (WUEleaf) in response to changes in CO2 concentration and other environmental variables, including soil moisture and air temperature. We al...
