Summary of all studies on crop yield:
Yields for wheat will change by:
-17% for Brandenburg (- 7% with estimated CO2 effect)
-10% for Hessen
-14% for Baden-Württemberg
Yields for maize will change by
+2% for Brandenburg (+8% with estimated CO2 effect)
-5% for Hessen
No significant change on average for Baden Württemberg
Disadvantages:
Crop models are relatively general
CO2 effect is mostly not considered
CO2 effect on water consumtion is generally not considered
klimazwei
Research for Climate Protection and Protection from Climate Impacts
a programme of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
With the research programme “klimazwei”, BMBF is bringing implementation-oriented
projects to the forefront of its funding policies.
A total of 39 projects are being funded to develop innovative technologies and
strategies that strengthen our ability to act and secure our competitiveness under
conditions of climate change.
At the core of all these projects are innovative ideas on how to mitigate risks resulting
from climate change and to seize opportunities for society and the economy.
Klimazwei –programme structure
Projects A: Mitigation
• Technics for Emission Reduction
• Logistics
• Environmental Technologies
Projects B: Adaptation
• Regional Networks and Strategies
• Tourism
• Early Warning Systems/Automation
• Natural resources (water-, agriculture- and forestry)
• Communication/Mainstreaming
Projects C: Accompanying projects supporting the programme klimazwei
Agricultural related projects on
Natural resources (water-, agriculture- and forestry)
KLARA-Net (www.klara-net.de) is focusing on the establishment of a regional
stakeholder network that works out fields of action and particular measures for
climate change adaptation. Additionally, KLARA-Net is undertaking actions to
raise public awareness in matters of climate change. In the current phase of the
project four working groups (1. Agriculture, Forestry and Winegrowing; 2. Building
Economy, Water Economy and Planning; 3. Health; 4. Tourism) are discussing
and creating adaptation measures for the region Starkenburg/Hesse.
Project “A Region’s Climate Protection and Adaptation Potentials and their
Development – the case study “Chiemgau-Inn-Salzach” aims to mobilise and
focus the innovative development forces of a region with regard to climate
protection and adaptation. 3 phases: 1) conception and building of a regional
strategy as well as a regional network for climate change and adaptation. 2)
Identification and testing of path-breaking model projects. 3) Transfer of regional
experiences gained in the model projects other regions. 3 fields of action: a) Use
of renewable regional energy re-sources, b) water retention and land use as well
as c) mobilisation of the consumers/population.
Agricultural related projects on
Natural resources (water-, agriculture- and forestry)
Project “Climate Change Adaptation of Wheat Production in Germany
through Plant Breeding”: The objective is to find cost-effective ways of
adaptation to climate change in the area of plant breeding research. To determine
the pressure of adaptation locally restricted climatic scenarios with a very high
spatial resolution will be used to force a dynamic vegetation model. In this
manner the effect to the crop of wheat will be assessed and effects will be
described by appropriate stress indicators. In a second step, the potential of plant
breeding to develop wheat varieties adapted to climate change will be assessed.
The focus is to develop wheat varieties adapted to the abiotic stress complex
heat/drought.
Project
KliO
(www.agrar.hu-berlin.de/agrarmet/forschung/fp/KliO_html;
Climate Change and Fruit Growing in Germany): The objective of this project
is to investigate the possible regional impacts of climate change on fruit-growing
in Germany. The KliO project intends to develop application relevant strategies for
adaptation and evaluate the impact of these adaptation measures on the sectors
profitability and productivity.

Project BatroS “Soil Amelioration and Cultivation Technologies for Arable
Land Exposed to Drought:” (www.batros.de): Lusatia is supposed to be most
affected by increasing risk of droughts during the growing season. The regionally
prevailing nutrient poor sandy substrates reinforce the impacts of drought and
require to adapt the traditional agricultural management practices to the changing
climatic conditions. New amelioration and cultivation technologies to adapt the
existing management systems to water stress or alternative landuse strategies
orienting on the selection of drought tolerant species and mere biomass
production. BAtroS has been launched for testing soil amelioration technologies
which may increase the water storage capacity of soils and, hence, the access of
plants to soil water. The project will apply an alternative approach for testing the
adaptation of selected seeds and crops to drought, considering traditional crops
but also those plant species known to be suitable for maximising phytomass
productivity.

Natural resources (water-, agriculture- and forestry)
LandCaRe2020“Land, Climate and Resources – Foresight and Potentials in
Rural Areas under Regional Climate Change” (funding period 11/200610/2009) deals with effects of regional climate change and weather extremes on
agriculture and water and material fluxes at the landscape level. Tools will be
provided for decision making in agriculture, related industries and environmental
issues in rural areas. Central objective of the project is the development of a
dynamic decision support system (LandCaRe-DSS). The DSS is dynamic
because it allows new model runs with various sets of scenarios and parameters
by the user. 2 regions in eastern Germany (1) the “Uckermark” in the dry lowlands
of Brandenburg and (2) the “Weißeritzkreis” in the humid mountain area of
Saxony are used as model areas. The DSS includes modules for past and future
climate (scenarios and weather statistics), ecology (quantitative indicators for
greenhouse gas emission, natural plant production potentials, biodiversity), and
economy (land-use change, development of farm income and employment, economic risks). Integration of the modules is based on a geographic information
system (GIS). Based on FACE experiments, model appoaches and parameters
will be developed to describe effects of increased atmospheric CO2 on plant
production and water use.
Projects C: Accompanying projects supporting the
programme klimazwei
„Service Group Adaptation (SGA)“([email protected]) supports interdisciplinary
activities with application oriented focus on adaptation to regional Climate
Change. It has been established to provide a common database and
methodological background to the project partners. SGA provides both, simulated
regional model data and climatological observations. To address this task SGA
consists of two parts:
•
One has been implemented as a project of the national climate research
service group ‘Model and Data’ at the Max Planck Institute for
Meteorology in Hamburg and provides model data and products.
•
The second mission is carried out in close cooperation with the German
Meteorological Service (DWD) in Offenbach and is concerned with
long-term observation data.
