"Agriculture: 2080s scenarios show considerable regional disparities in impacts on agriculture. Southern Europe would experience yield losses that would become relatively high under the 5.4 °C scenario - about 25%. The Central Europe regions would experience moderate changes in yield. In all scenarios Northern Europe would benefit from positive yield changes, and, to a lesser extent, the British Isles would benefit in the 4.1 °C and 5.4 °C scenarios. These effects result from the dominance of the longer growing season. A group of countries (e.g., Ireland, Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands) may be at risk if limitations on the use of fertilizers in agriculture are considered. Romania would experience higher potential gain, partly because of the considerable weight of agriculture in its economy." (Ciscar et al. 2010: 3)
Methodischer Ansatz
The methodology integrates a set of coherent, high-resolution climate change projections and physical models into an economic modelling framework.
