Statistical Models of Crop Production to Assess the Impacts of a CO sub 2 Induced Climate Change: Progress Report

摘要

This report describes the use of mathematical models to forecast the effects of increased CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. These models were created to predict crop yields under different climatic conditions. The authors have adapted them to consider climatic changes caused by the ''greenhouse effect.'' Principal climatic variables include monthly precipitation and temperature range. 26 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs. (ERA citation 14:029360)
