Project objectives

The project LandCaRe 2020 aims at developing and providing tools, by which decision making of agriculture and further stakeholders in the rural areas can be supported. This shall lead to suitable measures for adaptation to regional climate change in the next decades.

One major goal is the knowledge platform LandCaRe DSS (DSS = decision support system), which can be adapted to different regions and in which interactive simulations of selected scenarios can be performed.

The DSS includes the following analysis options:

Statistics of climate trends of the past and different regional climate projections of the future (time frame 1950 to 2050)
Agricultural production, depending on the selection of species, location, and management options
Water, carbon, nitrogen fluxes and groundwater recharge
Climatic and ecological indicators related to phenology, plant ontogeny, photosynthesis, soil erosion, etc.
Economic scenarios and indicators related to production costs and farm income
