ORACLE O pportunities and R isks for A grosystems and forests in response to CL imate, socio- economic and policy changE s in France CONTEXT, ISSUES and OBJECTIVES There is a need to provide insights on i) the poten1al risks and opportuni1es for agriculture and forestry, and ii) the possible future pa:erns of landuses. For that we need to account, simultaneously, for a) climate change and its expected effects on e.g. produc1vity, and b) the evolu1on of the socioeconomic and policy environment. However, the la:er depending on the former, their links need to be accounted for. Our objec1ves are manyfold: Evaluate the impacts of various climate change scenarios on the func1oning of managed ecosystems (largescale crops, forests, pasture); Calculate the implica1ons of those changes on land uses; Calculate the implica1ons of changing policies, or launching adapta1on and /or mi1ga1on prac1ces on land uses; Evaluate how both climate change and policy/adapta1on/ mi1ga1on measures combine to influence land uses; Evaluate whether changes in land uses are sustainable from an hydrological point of view in the Seine basin. METHODS We have developed the twostep methodology illustrated below: Contact : [email protected] ; Site web: h:ps://oracle.lsce.ipsl.fr/ STRENGTHS To be:er address the impacts of climate change on largescale crops, we combined sta1s1cal, mechanis1c and indicators’ approaches.

ORACLE Opportunities and Risks for Agrosystems and forests in response to CLimate, socio-economic and policy changEs in France

         CONTEXT,  ISSUES  and  OBJECTIVES    

There   is   a   need   to   provide   insights   on   i)   the   poten1al   risks   and  opportuni1es  for  agriculture  and  forestry,  and  ii)  the  possible  future  pa:erns  of  land-­‐uses.  For  that  we  need  to  account,  simultaneously,  for   a)   climate   change  and   its   expected  effects  on  e.g.  produc1vity,  and  b)  the  evolu1on  of  the  socio-­‐economic  and  policy  environment.  However,  the  la:er  depending  on  the  former,  their  links  need  to  be  accounted  for.    

Our  objec1ves  are  many-­‐fold:  Ø  Evaluate   the   impacts  of   various   climate  change   scenarios  on   the  func1oning   of   managed   ecosystems   (large-­‐scale   crops,   forests,  pasture);  

Ø  Calculate  the  implica1ons  of  those  changes  on  land  uses;  Ø  Calculate   the   implica1ons   of   changing   policies,   or   launching  adapta1on  and  /or  mi1ga1on  prac1ces  on  land  uses;  

Ø  Evaluate   how   both   climate   change   and   policy/adapta1on/mi1ga1on  measures  combine  to  influence  land  uses;  

Ø  Evaluate   whether   changes   in   land   uses   are   sustainable   from   an  hydrological  point  of  view  in  the  Seine  basin.  

           METHODS    

We  have  developed  the    two-­‐step  methodology  illustrated  below:

       STRENGTHS    

      To   be:er   address   the   impacts   of   climate   change   on   large-­‐scale  crops,   we   combined   sta1s1cal,   mechanis1c   and   indicators’  approaches.  More  specifically  we  have:  -­‐  Developed   agro-­‐ecological   indicators   to   iden1fy   the   main  meteorological  stress  to  be  avoided  by  plants;  

-­‐  Ques1oned  the  poten1al  of  global  vegeta1on  models  (here  ORCHIDEE-­‐IPSL  and  ISBA-­‐CNRM)  to  produce  useful  indicators.  

        A   flexible   modelling   approach   (CliMul1CS)   was   developed   to  design   crop   systems   that   will   be   able   to   cope  with   future   climate  changes  (Mo$es  et  al.  in  prep.):  -­‐  It   assesses   cropping   system   performances   based   on   12   criteria  

(e.g.  yield,  water  quality,  soil  quality,  GHG  emissions);  -­‐  It  responds  to  climate  change;  -­‐  It  includes  expert  as  well  as  scien1fic  knowledge.  

           The  limits  between  the  U1lized  Agricultural  Area  (SAU  in  french)  and   the   area   of  managed   forests  may   change   in   response   to   both  climate   change   and   policy/adapta1on/mi1ga1on   measures   (see  Figure  showing  Methodology-­‐2).
