1.4 Plan of DissertationThe remaining chapters of this thesis are planned as follows.Chapter 2 gives background information of climate and crop production in Bhutan. Italso reviews previous work on the crop yield modelling.The data used in this study, including meteorological observations, crop yieldmeasurements and PRECIS climate simulations, are discussed in Chapter 3.Chapter 4 explains the development of the statistical crop yield model using observedweather and crop yield data.Chapter 5 discusses the calibration of temperature projections of PRECIS RCM andexamines the future changes in the mean temperature of Bhutan.Chapter 6 describes the projections of the crop yield for rice and wheat using thecalibrated mean temperature projections.Finally Chapter 7 summaries the main results and recommends possible future work.5
