Although biophysical yield responses to local warming have been studied, we know little
about how crop yield growth—a function of climate and technology—responds to global …

Annual food caloric production is the product of caloric yield, cropping frequency (CF,
number of production seasons per year) and cropland area. Existing studies have largely …

Global surface temperature is projected to warm over the coming decades, with regional
differences expected in temperature change, rainfall and the frequency of extreme events …

Wheat, rice, maize, and soybean provide two-thirds of human caloric intake. Assessing the
impact of global temperature increase on production of these crops is therefore critical to …

Many studies have examined the role of mean climate change in agriculture, but an
understanding of the influence of inter-annual climate variations on crop yields in different …

Rising air temperatures are a leading risk to global crop production. Recent research has
emphasized the critical role of moisture availability in regulating crop responses to heat and …

Understanding the impact of changes in temperature and precipitation on crop yields is a
vital step in developing policy and management options to feed the world. As most existing …

Abstract Changes in the global production of major crops are important drivers of food
prices, food security and land use decisions. Average global yields for these commodities …

This study explores the effects of observed warming trends since 1980 on crop yields at both
national and regional scales for the four main staple crops (rice, wheat, maize, and soybean) …

Feeding a growing global population in a changing climate presents a significant challenge
to society,. The projected yields of crops under a range of agricultural and climatic scenarios …
