In many solar applications knowing diffuse solar radiation on horizontal surface represents
an important requirement. The measurement of diffuse radiation is quite expensive, and …

Climate change implies higher frequency and magnitude of agroclimatic extremes
threatening plant production and the provision of other ecosystem services. This review is …

Provisioning a sufficient stable source of food requires sound knowledge about current and
upcoming threats to agricultural production. To that end machine learning approaches were …

Crop models are used for an increasingly broad range of applications, with a commensurate
proliferation of methods. Careful framing of research questions and development of targeted …

Barley is an important cereal crop for the arid and semi-arid Mediterranean environments.
Future climate projections show that Mediterranean countries will get drier and hotter. The …

Heat and drought are two emerging climatic threats to the US maize and soybean
production, yet their impacts on yields are collectively determined by the magnitude of …

Understanding sources of uncertainty in climate–crop modelling is critical for informing
adaptation strategies for cropping systems. An understanding of the major sources of …

To improve climate change impact estimates and to quantify their uncertainty, multi-model
ensembles (MMEs) have been suggested. Model improvements can improve the accuracy …

Efforts to maximize yields of food crops can be undermined by abiotic stress factors,
particularly those related to climate change. Here, we use a range of physiological methods …

Many of the irrigated spring wheat regions in the world are also regions with high poverty.
The impacts of temperature increase on wheat yield in regions of high poverty are uncertain …
