Agricultural production depends on climatic conditions such as precipitation and temperature, as well as their interactions with each other and with non-climatic factors. Disentangling these effects and understanding which climatic conditions affect agriculture, how strongly, and how future production could change under global warming is crucial for safeguarding future food production, supporting timely climate adaptation through management practices, and improving impact models and assessments. We invite submissions across a broad spectrum of approaches for assessment of climate change impacts on agriculture. Submissions may include, but are not limited to, the following themes:
1- Assessment of climatic conditions, including extremes (droughts, heatwaves) and averages, and their effect on agricultural production, variability and anomalies.
2- Assessment of adaptation practices, including but not limited to crop diversification, irrigation, and fertilization in crop production.
3- Projections of future agricultural production using multi-model climate simulations as well as single-model initial conditions and assessment of time of emergence.
4- Spatial and temporal variability and the role of teleconnections in climate risks to agriculture.
5- Supply chains, financial losses, and the role of insurance in alleviating financial losses in the agriculture sector.
6- Methodological advancements and intercomparison of process-based, statistical, and AI-based models for agricultural production and climate impact assessments.
