| Abstract: | Central Europe, the focus region of this study, is
a region in transition, climatically from maritime to continental
and politically from formerly more planning-oriented
to more market-oriented management regimes, and in terms
of climate change from regions of increasing precipitation in
the west and north of Europe to regions of decreasing precipitation
in central and southern Europe. The Elbe basin, a
trans-boundary catchment flowing from the Czech Republic
through Germany into the North Sea, was selected to investigate
the possible impacts of global change on crop yields
and water resources in this region.
For technical reasons, the paper has been split into two
parts, the first showing the overall model concept, the model
set-up for the agricultural sector, and first results linking
eco-hydrological and agro-economic tools for the German
part of the basin. The second part describes the model setup
for simulating water supply and demand linking ecohydrological
and water management tools for the entire basin
including the Czech part. |
