Uncertainty in land-use adaptation persists despite crop model projections showing lower impacts under high warming

E. J. M. Bacca, M. Stevanović, et al.

Explore how a global land system model, MAgPIE, reveals the dynamic interplay of land-use adaptation costs under various emissions scenarios. This research, conducted by Edna J. Molina Bacca and colleagues, uncovers the challenges in effective adaptation planning due to high variance in high-emissions impact projections.

Abstract
This study uses a global land system model (MAgPIE) to assess land-use adaptation and its cost under different crop model projections, including CO2 fertilization effects. Under a low-emissions scenario (SSP1-RCP2.6), land-use changes are slight, and costs are near zero. For a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-RCP8.5), adaptation involves cropland area changes and technological investments, with costs ranging from -1.5 to +19 US$/ton of dry matter per year. High variance among high-emissions impact projections hinders effective adaptation planning.
