DESCRIPTION:Rainfed cereal production in northern Ghana is highly variable
  due to rainfall uncertainty\, soil constraints\, and low-input fertility 
 management. Integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) can improve produc
 tivity\, but outcomes depend on climate and site conditions. Using the SIM
 PLACE model\, this study evaluated interactions among ISFM practices\, sow
 ing dates\, soil depth\, and climate risk at a representative site. Simula
 tions combined four fertility treatments (control\, inorganic\, organic\, 
 combined)\, contrasting soils\, multiple sowing dates\, historical climate
 \, and +2.0 °C warming across >300 GCM-based ensembles. Kernel density es
 timates of yield and biomass showed that control and organic treatments ha
 d low yield potential but high stability. Inorganic fertilization maximize
 d yields but was most unstable\, while combined organic–inorganic manage
 ment improved biomass stability and yield distributions\, supporting ISFM 
 as a climate-resilient adaptation strategy in northern Ghana.
