Does agroecosystem management mitigate historic climate impacts on dryland winter wheat yields?
Abstract Global studies that quantify climate effects on crop yields using top‐down spatial frameworks are invaluable for assessing generalized effects on world food supplies, yet do not contain the resolution necessary to identify local mediating effects of management.
