Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on Cotton Yield in a Semi-Arid Region: A Case Study
Cotton cultivation in India is of vital importance to the national economy. However, the susceptibility of cotton crops to climate change poses significant challenges. Recognizing the spatial heterogeneity of climate change’s influence, comprehending its

Abstract Irrigation plays a critical role in stabilizing agricultural productivity under increasing climatic variability. However, the intensification of droughts and extreme weather events is revealing the vulnerability of irrigation systems, particularly due to mismatches between peak water needs and natural water availability.

ABSTRACT Forage production in semi‐arid regions of Brazil is limited by water deficit. This study aimed to identify the most adapted and efficient production systems and define their agricultural calendars for the semi‐arid region of Brazil. Twenty‐nine production arrangements that included different cropping conditions, plant density, plant cycles ...

A High‐Precision Crop Water Footprint Quantification Framework Based on Data Assimilation
Abstract Agricultural production is a major consumer of water resources, and the crop water footprint (CWF) serves as a comprehensive metric for assessing agricultural water use efficiency and its associated impacts, thereby providing new insights for agricultural water management.

Aquacrop, crop water productivity model [PDF]
Intended for agricultural researchers and stakeholders, “Aquacrop” is a crop water productivity model developed and distributed by FAO since 2009. By evaluating different parameters, it enables yields to be improved in an environment where water is ...

Abstract Planting structure drive agricultural water use and is critical to groundwater depletion in the North China Plain (NCP). However, the effects of planting structure changes on groundwater depletion are rarely quantified, and severely depleted areas are often overlooked in previous planting structure optimization studies.
