Evaluation of global gridded crop models in simulating sugarcane yield in China
January 2023 • Dezhen Yin, Jingjing Yan, Fang Li, Tianyuan Song
Sugarcane provides around 80% of the world's sugar production and is also one of the most efficient bioenergy crops. China is the third largest sugarcane-producing country in the world, and skillful simulation of the sugarcane yield in China is thus vital for global production and the trade of sugar and ethanol. Global Gridded Crop Models (GGCMs) are commonly used to predict global and regional crop yield as well as to assess the impacts of climate, environment, and agronomic management changes and feedbacks of cr…
