Input Levels
Differences in crop types and production systems Utilization Types (LUTs). A LUT consists of a set of are empirically characterized by the concept of Land technical specifications for crop production within a given socioeconomic setting. Attributes specific to a particular LUT include agronomic information, production is a management objective. Production is based on improved or high yielding varieties, is fully mechanized with low labor intensity chemical pest, disease and weed control.

and uses optimum applications of nutrients and

In GAEZ, this variety in management and input levels is translated into yield differences by assigning different parameters for LUTs depending on the input/management level, e.g. such as harvest index and maximum leaf area index. LUTs are parameterized to reflect environmental and eco-physiological requirements for growth and

In GAEZ, three generic levels of input/management

are defined: low, intermediate, and high input level: Low level inputs, under a low level of inputs (traditional management assumption), the farming system is largely subsistence based. Production is based on the use of traditional cultivars (if improved cultivars are used, they

Water supply systems

Five water supply systems have been separately evaluated:

nutrients, no use of chemicals for pest and disease

Production is based on improved varieties, on manual labor with hand tools and/or animal traction and some mechanization, is medium and chemical pest disease and weed control, adequate fallows and some conservation measures.

Apart from evaluating crop production systems based on rain-fed cultivation and rain-fed with water conservation, specific soil requirements for namely for gravity, sprinkler and drip irrigation.

Time Period
Climate input data determine three types of time period: historical, baseline and future, where

GCM model outputs for individual climate attributes were applied as follows:

Difference of the means for three 30-year periods

Historical periods consist of individual years from 1961 to 2000.

The baseline period reflects average climatic conditions for the period 1961-1990. The 30year average time period Option provides the

Climate Scenario
For the analysis of climate change impacts on agricultural production potential, available climate predictions of General Circulation Models (GCM) were used for characterization of future climates.
