Source: Calculated by authors based on DSSAT model simulation results.
Notes: Grid-cell values were calculated using weights from MapSPAM 2005 (You et al. 2014). “Low” and “High” refer to levels of fertilizer (30 and 90
kilograms of nitrogen per hectare, respectively). Because the sugarcane model did not respond to changing nitrogen levels, the fertilizer variable was
omitted.
