Impact of Spatial Soil and Climate Input Data Aggregation on Regional Yield Simulations.

We show the error in water-limited yields simulated by crop models which is associated with spatially aggregated soil and climate input data. Crop simulations at large scales (regional, national, continental) frequently use input data of low resolution. Therefore, climate and soil data are often gen...
