Developing the DO3SE-crop model for Xiaoji, China

Abstract. A substantial body of empirical evidence exists to suggest that elevated O3 levels are causing significant impacts on wheat yields at sites representative of highly productive arable regions of China. Here, we extend the DO3SE model (designed to estimate total- and stomatal- O3 deposition for risk assessment) to incorporate a coupled Anet-gsto model to estimate O3 uptake, an O3 damage module (that impacts instantaneous Anet and the timing and rate of senescence), and a crop phenology, carbon allocation and growth model based on the JULES-Crop model. The model structure allows scaling from the leaf to the canopy to allow for multiple leaf populations and canopy layers. The DO3SE-crop model is calibrated and parametrised using O3 fumigation data from Xiaoji, China for the year 2008 and for an O3 tolerant and sensitive cultivar. The calibrated model can simulate key physiological variables, crop development, and yield with a good level of accuracy compared to experimental observations. DO3SE-crop accurately depicted the difference in yield reductions under ambient and elevated O3 treatments for wheat cultivars Y16 (tolerant) and Y2 (sensitive) with regressions of modelled and observed absolute yields resulting in an R² of 0.99 and an RMSE of 9.27 g/m². Further, when evaluated for 2007 and 2009 for all cultivars, the DO3SE-crop model simulated O3-induced yield losses of 4–25 % compared to observed yield losses of 12–34 %, with an R² of 0.73 and an RMSE of 58.41 g/m². Additionally, our results indicate that the variance in yield reduction is primarily attributed to the premature decrease in carbon assimilation to the grains under elevated O3 exposure. This is linked to accelerated leaf senescence, which brings leaf senescence forward by 7–9 days under elevated O3 treatments.

Short summary
The DO3SE-crop model extends the DO3SE to simulate ozone's impact on crops with modules for ozone uptake, damage, and crop growth from JULES-Crop. It's versatile, suits China's varied agriculture, and improves yield predictions under ozone stress. It is essential for policy, water management, and climate response, it integrates into Earth System Models for a comprehensive understanding of agriculture's interaction with global systems.
