Complex drought patterns robustly explain global yield loss for major crops

Scientific Reports, 2022
Multi-purpose crops as maize, rice, soybean, and wheat are key in the debate concerning food, land, water and energy security and sustainability. While strong evidence exists on the effects of climate variability on the production of these crops, so far ...

Uncertainty in soil data can outweigh climate impact signals in global crop yield simulations

Nature Communications, 2016
Global gridded crop models are increasingly used to assess climate change impacts on food production. Here, the authors assess crop yield uncertainty associated with soil data input, reporting that soil type strongly influences yield estimates, and may ...
