Wheat (Triticum aestivum), rice (Oryza sativa) and the associated pests distribution are affected by climate change. CLIMEX modelling software illustrates the climate suitability in the current and potential future periods 2030, 2070 and 2100, under two Global Climate Models (GCMs), CSIRO Mk3.0 (CS) and MIROC-H (MR), with A1B and A2 climate scenarios. The research outcomes show a general trend that all species are facing lower suitability in the southern hemisphere, while the northern hemisphere climate suitability will increase in the future. The aim of this study was to model the variability of climate change impacts projections on selected species globally, and in Iraq. |
