GIS data base and methodology for estimating impacts of climate change on soil temperatures and related risks for Austrian agriculture
Abstract
The aim of the project is to develop a GIS data base, based on the Austrian electronic soil map, which includes relevant developed soil physical properties for soil temperature simulations for all agricultural soils (arable land and grassland) in Austria. Further, several soil temperature simulation approaches will be tested and compared, where the most suitable approach for GIS implementation will be calibrated and implemented in a GIS for agricultural soils. Beyond the establishment of this high spatial resolution data base and method, which is not yet available in Austria and a very important input for impact models dealing with processes where the soil temperature regime plays a crucial role (dynamics of soil nitrogen, organic matter, soil chemical processes; Greenhous gas emissions from soils; crop root growth and limitations; pest, diseases and weed developement and risks, etc.), the application will be demonstrated for an important pest at selected target regions.
