Schematic overview of the progressing steps to address the study’s objectives. The steps for objective 1 involved simulating 1,881 trait combinations with the crop model, using various field-scale data and grid resolutions of 1 km x 1 km, 25 km x 25 km, and 50 km x 50 km. For objective 2, the steps included running the crop model with both the best and worst trait combinations for all grid resolutions throughout Germany. The simulated yield was then aggregated to the NUTS3 level. The maps were generated with R package terra, version 1.7-78 using shapefiles from the federal states obtained from the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy of Germany (http://www.geodatenzentrum.de).
