TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis that accounts for a range of adverse weather events that might significantly affect wheat yield in Europe, using climate scenarios based on the most recent ensemble of climate models and greenhouse gases emission estimates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors addressed the uncertainties and sources of variation in projected impacts of climate change on agriculture and terrestrial ecosystems by applying different impact models at site, regional and continental scales, and by separating the variation in simulated relative changes in ecosystem performance into the different sources of uncertainty and variation using analyses of variance.

TL;DR: It is reported that drought stress will remain a key driver of yield losses in wheat and maize across Europe, and benefits from CO2 will be limited in low-yielding years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the same short-season (FAO 300) maize hybrid PR37N01 was grown over three years of field experiments on three contrasting Spanish locations in terms of temperature regime.

TL;DR: A decline in the response diversity of wheat in farmers’ fields in most European countries after 2002–2009 is shown based on 101,000 cultivar yield observations, suggesting that current breeding programs and cultivar selection practices do not sufficiently prepare for climatic uncertainty and variability.
