Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource Soil, climate and management input resolution influenced simulated maize yields in both models.
- Method / resource Differences between models exceeded differences between input data.
- Method / resource Climate and management information produced larger differences than soil information.
- Method / resource Both models represented spatial yield variability well despite little soil and management information.
- Method / resource APSIM simulated greater variation between locations than LPJmL.
- Method / resource Agreement between simulated and observed temporal variability was lower.
- Observation Maize yields doubled in Burkina Faso between 1987 and 1991 following research and development investment.
