1 EFFECT OF SHADE ON TEMPERATURE MITIGATION AND CANOPY ASSIMILATION OF COFFEE AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS: A MODELLING APPROACH VEZY R *, PICART D, CHRISTINA M, SOMA M, GEORGIOU S, CHARBONNIER F, LOUSTAU D, IMBACH PB, DE MELO E., HIDALGO HG, ALFARO EJ, LE MAIRE G, ROUPSARD O 3 rd European Agroforestry Conference 2016

2 IMPACT OF FUTURE CLIMATE ON CROP YIELD Rosenzweig, Elliott et al. (2014) 3rd European Agroforestry Conference

3 IMPACT OF FUTURE CLIMATE ON CROP YIELD First reductions will begin around 2020 in African semi-arids areas, then progressively to south and central america, Mexico, and Asia (IPCC AR5 WG2). Rosenzweig, Elliott et al. (2014) 3rd European Agroforestry Conference

4 IMPACT OF FUTURE CLIMATE ON CROP YIELD First reductions will begin around 2020 in African semi-arids areas, then progressively to south and central america, Mexico, and Asia (IPCC AR5 WG2). Adaptative options (short to long term): Sow/Harvest dates Agroforestry Breeding Crop shift Rosenzweig, Elliott et al. (2014) 3rd European Agroforestry Conference

5 A TRADE-OFF BETWEEN SHADE AND YIELD? Agroforestry may regulate microclimate and crop temperature. What is the expected reduction on temperature? Effect of shade tree species, density and management? How to cope with local climate, elevation, bearing Does LUE compensate somehow for light reduction under shade? Crop yield? LUE increase under shade? Regulation of crop canopy temperature? 3rd European Agroforestry Conference

6 METHODS Field experiments extremely useful but hard to maintain or extend: Trees take decades to mature Huge amount of management/climate options to test Numeric models Agroforestry is spatialy heterogeneous Need 3D plant-to-plot models + Accurate light interception and energy balance + process-based model + (half-) hour time step. Model selected here: MAESPA (Duursma et al. 2012) Crop model, horizontally uniform Allocation, growth and yield over full rotation + Plot scale + Fast+ Process-based Opportunity for model coupling 3rd European Agroforestry Conference
