Short summary
We developed a soybean model, an ecosystem model for crop yield (namely MATCRO-Soy), integrating crop response toward climate variables. It offers a detailed yield estimation. Parameter tuning in the model used literature and field experiments. The model shows a moderate correlation with observed yields at the global, national, and grid-cell levels. Development of this model enhances crop modeling diversity approaches, particularly in climate change impact studies.
