Climate change impacts and adaptations for wheat employing multiple climate and crop models in Pakistan Jamshad Hussain 1 & Tasneem Khaliq 1 & Senthold Asseng 2 & Umer Saeed 1 & Ashfaq Ahmad 1 & Burhan Ahmad 3 & Ishfaq Ahmad 2 & Muhammad Fahad 4 & Muhammad Awais 5 & Asmat Ullah 6 & Gerrit Hoogenboom 7 Received: 19 August 2017 /Accepted: 30 August 2020/ # Springer Nature B.V. 2020 Abstract Comparing outputs of multiple climate and crop models is an option to assess the uncertainty in simulations in a changing climate. The use of multiple wheat models under five plausible future simulated climatic conditions is rarely found in literature. CERES-Wheat, DSSAT-Nwheat, CROPSIM-Wheat, and APSIM-Wheat models were calibrated with observed data form eleven sowing dates (15 October to 15 March) of irrigated wheat trails at Faisalabad, Pakistan, to explore close to real climate changing impacts and adaptations. Twenty-nine GCM of CMIP5 were used to generate future climate scenarios during 2040–2069 under RCP 8.5. These scenarios were categorized among five climatic conditions (Cool/Wet, Cool/Dry, Hot/Wet, Hot/Dry, Middle) on the basis of monthly changes in temperature and rainfall of wheat season using a stretched distribution approach (STA). The five GCM at Faisalabad and Layyah were selected and used in the wheat multimodels set to CO 2 571 ppm. In the future, the temperature of both locations will elevate 2–3 °C under the five climatic conditions, although Faisalabad will Climatic Change https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-020-02855-7 * Jamshad Hussain mjamshad18@gmail.com 1 Agro-climatology laboratory, Department of agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan 2 Agricultural & Biological Engineering Department, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA 3 Pakistan Meteorological Department, Islamabad, Pakistan 4 Department of Agronomy, PMAS-Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan 5 Islamia University Bahawalpur-Pakistan, Bahawalpur, Pakistan 6 Directorate of Agronomy, Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan 7 Institute for Sustainable Food Systems 184 Rogers Hall, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA
