Abstract

Highlights

 

  • The effects of climate change on the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of Long-Term Field Experiments were simulated.

  • Metadata of multiple LTEs were incorporated with NPP modelling using Germany as a test case.

  • A remarkable NPP decrease was found in the LTEs in central Germany, shifting to the east in future.

  • Poor soils experienced a disproportionate reduction in NPP compared to good soils primarily related to water scarcity.

  • The importance of soil quality for crop productivity is likely to increase in the future.
