Abstract

The article discusses a study that assessed potential impacts of climate change on biofuel wheat production in southern Saskatchewan using the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer-Cropping System Model (DSSAT-CSM). The model simulated biomass and grain yield under three climate change scenarios in the 2050s. DSSAT-CSM predicted increases in biomass and grain yield but model modification is needed to improve the prediction of climate change impacts on biofuel wheat production.
