Agriculture and forestry (CLIMATOR Green Book)

The Green Book of the CLIMATOR Project - For 20 years, there has been evidence of climate change from weather records. Its impact is beginning to be felt in agriculture and forestry: repeated droughts, advanced or delayed flowering and harvests, stagnating wheat yields, forest dieback, etc. What are the advantages and vulnerabilities of crops faced with climate change? How can cropping calendars, water requirements, pest and parasite pressure, yields evolve? Answering these questions on how crop and forest systems react to future climate change was the objective of the CLIMATOR project. This work has made it possible to develop methods of analysis, based on climatic simulations coupled with farm and forest models. The Green Book summarizes the results of the CLIMATOR project.
