Rainfall trends in the African Sahel: Characteristics, processes, and causes
M Biasutti - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Sahel rainfall is dynamically linked to the global Hadley cell and to the regional monsoon
circulation. It is therefore susceptible to forcings from remote oceans and regional land alike …

Impacts of climate change on rice production in Africa and causes of simulated yield changes
PAJ Van Oort, SJ Zwart - Global change biology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
This study is the first of its kind to quantify possible effects of climate change on rice
production in Africa. We simulated impacts on rice in irrigated systems (dry season and wet …

Air quality and climate connections
Multiple linkages connect air quality and climate change. Many air pollutant sources also
emit carbon dioxide (CO2), the dominant anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG). The two …

Weeds in a changing climate: vulnerabilities, consequences, and implications for future weed management
Whilst it is agreed that climate change will impact on the long-term interactions between
crops and weeds, the results of this impact are far from clear. We suggest that a thorough …

The influence of the interdecadal Pacific oscillation on temperature and precipitation over the globe
Abstract The Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) is a 40–60 year quasi-oscillation seen
mostly in the Pacific basin, but its impacts on surface temperature (T) and precipitation (P) …
