Abstract
Among global changes on our planet, climate change plays probably the most important role. The main reason for climate change originates in enhanced greenhouse effect, which has known theoretical background and has been proved by measurements. It results in atmospheric global circulation changes that influence the climate also in mid-latitudes. Activity of natural and especially agro-ecosystems strongly depends on climate conditions. These relationships will be the main field of our research work together with their application to spatial and time variability of climate conditions and their impact on agriculture. Our research will include: - Statistical analysis of variability of different agroclimatic variables: temperature, snow cover duration, solar radiation, precipitation etc. Statistical downscaling technique will be employed to global circulation model results for creating the regional climate change scenarios for Slovenia (in short mid and long-term time horizon). Special attention will be given to geo-statistical approach for objective spatial interpolation of different meteorological variables resulting in digital maps. - Quantitative estimation of soil water balance change, potential use of alternative energy sources (solar energy, wind energy) and engineering techniques (cultivation, mechanisation) in agriculture. Special attention will be focused on increased frequency of extreme hydrological events such as drought and heavy rain resulting in flood threatening. - Investigation of nitrates in drinking water, which are beside pesticides the most frequent pollutant in groundwater in agricultural regions. In spite of water abundance in Slovenia, we need to protect the present sources of drinking water from pollution. - Development and use of crop growth dynamical models for quantitative estimation of present crop yield and its changes in future environmental conditions. As input the most probable climate change scenarios will be taken into account - increased concentration of CO2, increased air temperature and possible changes of precipitation regime. - Determination of possible adaptation measures in agriculture (irrigation, drainage, different crops in particular areas, use of resistant varieties, agrotechnical interventions, increased use of alternative energy sources, etc.)
