Agroclimatic conditions in Europe under climate change [PDF]
o date, projections of European crop yields under climate change have been based almost entirely on the outputs of crop-growth models. While this strategy can provide good estimates of the effects of climatic factors, soil conditions and management on ...

Impacts of climate change on rice production in Africa and causes of simulated yield changes [PDF]
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 season) and rainfed systems (upland and lowland).
