[Workshop 2]
Crop Production under Heat Stress:
Monitoring, Impact Assessment and Adaptation
Under "Multilateral Research Exchange Project for Securing Food and Agriculture", funded by Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Council, MAFF
Outline
| Date: | October 6 (Tue) - October 9 (Fri) |
|---|---|
| Venue: | Epochal Tsukuba |
| Under the auspices of: | The Crop Science Society of Japan & Ecosystem Process Group, Society of Agricultural Meteorology of Japan |
| Supported by: | The Global Environmental Research Fund (S-5) : Integrated Research on Climate Change Scenarios to Increase Public Awareness and Contribute to the Policy Process, Ministry of the Environments |
Rationale and scope
Global warming will likely increase occurrences of extreme heat events, which will be a major concern for the future crop production. Excessive heat, even if it is a short spell, might reduce yieldsof crops due to failure of reproductive growth. Information with regard to severe yield losses dueto heat events, however, has been limited, and the threshold temperature above which severe yield losses occur is still not clear under field conditions. Lack of understanding on the crop response to heat under open-field conditions poses a major uncertainty in assessing the crop production under future climates. Adaptation strategy to heat will also depend on the severity of the stress in the open-field. In thisworkshop, we attempt to cover four major issues related to heat, followed by group discussions for collaborative research.
- Current situation - Country reports
- Monitoring heat stress and international research network
- Impact and adaptation measures
- Crop modeling under global warming
