IC-FAR: Linking Long Term Observatories with Crop Systems Modeling For a better understanding of Climate Change Impact, and Adaptation Strategies for Italian Cropping Systems

摘要: The IC-FAR project (2013-2016), funded by the Italian ministry of University, Research and Education, aims to use datasets from 16 long term agronomic experiments (LTEs) assess reliability different cropping system models over a range Mediterranean environments systems. selected will be used for scenario uncertainty analyses vs near-future climate change. LTEs are located in seven sites: Turin, Padua, Bologna, Ancona, Pisa, Perugia, Foggia. project’s is linked international projects such as MACSUR, AgMIP, ANAEE, ESFRI GRA, has model developer teams associate partners. structured in five WPs. WP1 focused on building common dataset sampling protocols.  The field data implemented in the WP2 calibrate, validate performances across environments. An analysis performed relation types, typologies scenarios (WP3). WP4 WP5 capacity modeling dissemination, including networking with other European LTE platforms (WP4), coordination (WP5). next step design realization special issue summarizing selection most important results LTEs, that starting point towards full implementation sharing policy this project.
