These projections are computed from the ISIMIP Fast-Track archive based on six global gridded crop models driven by five global climate models from CMIP5 following RCP8.5.
Detailed description of the resource
This tool includes global gridded data of agricultural productivity, growing season evapotranspiration and other crop growth-relevant outputs produced by an ensemble of six global gridded crop models (GGCMs)simulating more than fifteen crops (Rosenzweig et al., 20142) driven by downscaled climate data from five general circulation models (GCMs) of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) run under four radiative concentration pathways (RCPs 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5) of greenhouse gases emission scenarios for the 21st century
