Abstract

Describes a simple framework for examining the factors affecting crop production, and explains how this framework can be extended to more complex simulation models of crop growth. Considers the uses and current limitations of such simulation models in predicting the effect of climate change on crop growth, and suggests how the models could be used to assess the impact of climate change and set the levels of emissions for management.
