IMPACT OF INCREASED TEMPERATURE AND CO₂ ON RICE PRODUCTIVITY IN CAUVERY DELTA ZONE, INDIA-A SIMULATION ANALYSIS

抄録

Using an eco-physiological model, the changes in the growth characteristics and grain yield for elevated atmospheric CO₂ level and temperature are explored. The main prediction is for harvest indices to fall. The model was used to develop strategies for mitigating the combined effects of increased temperature and CO₂, and define rice ideotypes suited to changing climate.
