Assessment of realistic climate change impacts on start and length of cropping season in the Netherlands (KB-46-005-015)

The project aims to predict realistic emergence and harvest dates of the main seasonal crops under future climate in the Netherlands, using innovative AI models and data sources obtained through a collaboration of science groups within WUR. The outputs will help crop modelers to set a realistic start and length of cropping seasons (deliverable: dataset and spatial data) in their studies of climate impacts on crop growth and development, and will provide to a broader public a visual representation of the predicted changes in cropping seasons under future climate (deliverable: interactive app), broadening and strengthening WUR climate solutions portfolio.
