Effect of Climate Change on Wheat Production in the Western Part of Iran

Abstract

　Climate change has an effect on agriculture, energy, natural disasters like floods, drought, desrtification and many other conditions. In this paper a simplified approach was adopted. The two changes have been applied to existing climatic data to determine probable change in temperature and precipitation. This is done by taking existing climatic data and adjusting values to reflect the decrease in precipitation and increase in temperature. The original sequence of climatic parameters (i.e., rainfall, temperature, humidity, radiation and wind speed) is maintained but their actual values are adjusted to accommodate the predicted decrease in rainfall and increase in temperature.
