Increased climate risk in Brazilian double cropping agriculture systems: Implications for land use in Northern Brazil

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess soybean productivity change in South America after climate change, considering important factors such as the decision whether or not to adopt double cropping systems and the incidence of diseases, both of which can influence planting dates.
