31 Climate Change and Agroecosystems: Impacts, Adaptation, and Mitigation: I

Oral Session
A03 Agroclimatology & Agronomic Modeling
Changes in CO2 and temperature can affect plant growth, soil processes and the environment in many ways. The papers in this session will address the effects of climate change on agricultural systems. Topics may include simulation models, plant structure and function, carbon sequestration, water use and temperature effects.
