16. The philosophical basis of soil classification and its evolution

Author

Haskett, Jonathan D.

Subjects
Soils -- Identification and classification, Earth sciences
Abstract

A predictive ability assessment-based inductive method helps eliminate random soil classification and develop a classification system that conforms to the regularities of nature, within the confines of language barrier. The latest soil classification system is evolved by adopting the inductive method and is in line with the guiding principles of soil classification. The system is characterized by sound methodology and does not require any alterations.

32. Increase of CO2and Climate Change Effects on Iowa Soybean Yield, Simulated Using GLYCIM

Author

Haskett, Jonathan D., Pachepsky, Yakov A., and Acock, Basil

Abstract

Increases in atmospheric CO2concentration are likely to have a significant impact on the climate and to affect the growth and development of crops. The effect of climate change on crops has to be assessed for large areas to provide information for global estimates and regional strategy development. In this study, computer simulations were done using the soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] crop model GLYCIM to assess the effects of these changes on soybean yields in the state of Iowa. The ability of the model to accurately predict the effect of changes in atmospheric CO2concentration was tested by comparing model results with a curve fit of CO2concentration yield response derived from measured data. To simulate the effects of climate change, we used projected monthly weather variables for ambient and increased CO2from three general circulation models (GCMs): Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), and United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO). The monthly weather variables were converted to the daily weather to simulate soybean crop yields in nine crop reporting districts (CRDs) of Iowa, with and without increases in atmospheric CO2. When climate change was simulated with increasing levels of CO2(baseline 350, 450, 550, and 650 µL L−1), yields increased. Without increases in atmospheric CO2, yields remained essentially constant in the GFDL and GISS scenarios, while decreasing by 2 to 10% in the UKMO scenario. The variability in yields among nine CRDs increased for all scenarios as climate changed and levels of CO2increased. Overall, projected climate changes did not substantially alter simulated soybean yields. The increase in CO2concentration in the atmosphere was the primary determinant of yield response.
