Model Intercomparison of Maize Response to Climate Change in Low-Input Smallholder Cropping Systems

Smallholder farming systems are characterized by poor soil fertility and low agricultural input use; process-based crop growth models can help quantifying the potential impact of climate change on productivity in these systems.With limiting conditions (water and nutrients), crop models need to rigorously account for soil water, nutrient, CO2, and temperature interactions when simulating climate change effects
