UFZ und PIK-Forscher untersuchen hitzeempfindliche Reispflanzen und deren Erträge weltweit anhand Freilandexperimente; 8,1% globaler Ernteverlust, doppelt so hoch wie Modellannahmen

UFZ und PIK-Forscher untersuchen hitzeempfindliche Reispflanzen und deren Erträge weltweit anhand Freilandexperimente; 8,1% globaler Ernteverlust, doppelt so hoch wie Modellannahmen Leibniz-Gemeinschaft: Klimabedingte Ernteverluste Freilandexperimente zeigen, dass Reis während der Fortpflanzungsphase besonders hitzeempfindlich ist. Globale Ertragsmodelle unterschätzen die Einbußen, die sich daraus ergeben. 31.07.2026 · News · Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung · Umweltwissenschaften · Forschungsergebnis Eine neue Studie im Fachjournal Science Advances untersucht, wie sich steigende Temperaturen auf Reiserträge auswirken. Dafür vergleicht sie 214 Beobachtungen aus Freilandexperimenten mit Simulationen von sieben globalen Ertragsmodellen. Demnach unterschätzen die Modelle die temperaturbedingten Ertragseinbußen bei einer globalen Erwärmung um 1 Grad deutlich: Sie berechnen einen Rückgang um 3,8 Prozent, während sich unter Berücksichtigung der Ergebnisse der Experimente 8,1 Prozent ergeben. Geleitet wurde die Studie vom Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung (UFZ), beteiligt war auch das Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung (PIK). ...
