  4. 3. Weather you like it or not : pre-season yield forecasting of malting barley with climate markers.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elsa Rozenbeek; [2023]
    Keywords : Yield forecasting; extreme weather; pre-season forecasting; climate markers; climate predictors; climate patterns; model calibration; DSSAT; crop model;

    Abstract : Different means of yield forecasting have been investigated in many publications, although very few with a focus on pre-season forecasting. Climate change and the increasing risk of extreme weather events is a threat to food production, and early yield predictions could therefore be beneficial for farmer’s planning and management as a way towards more resilient food production.

    Keywords : snp; single nucleotide polymorphism; african wild dog; lycaon pictus; conservation;

    Abstract : Large carnivores, especially the African wild dog, Lycaon pictus, are vulnerable to human-mediated changes and climate effects. As they are apex predators, they also affect lower trophic levels. Due to anthropogenic land-use changes affecting habitat, prey, and population densities, large carnivore populations are declining.
