1 AgMIP Soil Wheat Sensitivity analysis June 4, There are two sub-steps for the sensitivity analysis (A and B), for a total of 40 factors for each of the 4 locations and over 30 years. A - Special factors B - Limited factors The sensitivity analysis needs to be carried out with the calibrated model (calibrated against yield, biomass dynamics etc., with no changes from the calibration done for the AgMIP wheat) for each of our 4 locations (The Netherlands, India, Argentina, and Australia) and always for 30 years. Most of the factors (e.g. temperature change, heat days) are introduced to the baseline weather. The experiments from the four locations form the basis (e.g. same local management: dates and amounts as per baseline and future) and need to run continuously for 30 years (NO reinitialization) in a wheat-fallow rotation, with wheat planting and harvest dates indicated in the data files, and fallow running from harvest of wheat until the next planting. Manipulated weather files (for temperature and heat) are supplied ( ed and via the AgMIP website). There are a few Special factor simulations (S6-S11), which are to be carried out with the future scenarios (A single A2-2080s scenario, 734ppm). Modelers will have to manipulate other factors in their models as requested, including N (using same dates as per baseline and future), sowing, plant available soil water content and CO 2 (following the guidelines below). Note, the baseline for each location (and for S6-11, the future scenario) has been previously simulated with the all information and these are the controls. Conventional tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT) treatments are introduced. CT treatment has tillage 2 days before planting with chisel plow (25 cm), which is finished 1 day before planting with a cultivator. Residues are incorporated into 0-25 cm layer at plowing. NT treatment has residues left on the surface. Substeps Factors Simulations per location (each for 30 years) Comments A Special factors 22 Baseline for S1-S5 (Table 1) Future for S6-S11 (Table 1) B Limited factors 58 Baseline and supplied modified baseline weather files (click here) ( T1-T5, C1-C5 + limited T x C + limited C x N ) 2. Start with A - Special factors, 22 simulations for each of our 4 locations and 30 years click here. 3. Once you have run the 22 Special factors simulations save the results in the 30-year template (Template.csv) one file per simulated factor. The file should be named: Model code (2 LETTER CODE) + Location (2 LETTER CODE) + Factor label (described in Table 1) +Tillage(CT or NT) +.csv. For example, the file name for the first run for the STICS model at The Netherlands location with conventional tillage should be STNLS01CT.csv 4. The Limited factors simulations (B) include 58 simulations for each of our 4 locations and 30 years baseline (or manipulated baseline). For details of the 58 Limited factors simulations click here. 5. After simulating the Limited factor simulations (B) save the results (1 file per factor) using the same Template.csv file and renamed to: Model code (2 LETTER CODE) + Location (2 LETTER 1

2 CODE) + Factor label for Temperature (T1-T5) + Factor label for [CO 2 ] (C1-C5) + Factor label for N (N1-N3) +Tillage(CT or NT) +.csv. For example, one of the file names for the STICS model at The Netherlands location with the combinations T1, C1, N1,CT should be STNLT1C1N1CT.csv 6. The manipulated baseline weather files for the sensitivity analysis are supplied by and are available on the AgMIP website ( A list is given here. 7. We introduced a Soil wheat factor description checklist that can help you with sorting out the runs you need to send us. Special Factors: The special factors simulations include 22 simulations for each of our 4 locations with 30 years (44 simulations in total). Table 1 describes the 22 simulations and the associated factor labels. The baseline +/-50% N will be done in the Limited factors simulation (B). The manipulated baseline weather files for heat stress for each location for S01 are: NLHASXA1.AgMIP INDESXA1.AgMIP ARBASXA1.AgMIP AUWHSXA1.AgMIP Table 1.

8 Weather data: Manipulated weather files are ed and are available at the AgMIP website ( Temperature changes: -3, 0, +3, +6, +9 o C. The files are 8-digit files, coded similarly to the previous weather data: For example: NLHASX52.AgMIP NL=Netherlands; HA=Haarweg; S=Sensitivity scenario; X=No GCM used 5=5th temperature change (T5 from Table 5) 2= do not worry about the last number; it will be always 2 here. The file identification is also included in the file headers within the files. Relative humidity (RH) is maintained after temperature shifts, so there is internal consistency between Tmax and the moisture variables (as before). All weather files have the extension AgMIP.
