TL;DR: Investigating the impacts of temperature on yields of the four crops by compiling extensive published results from four analytical methods consistently showed negative temperature impacts on crop yield at the global scale, generally underpinned by similar impacts at country and site scales.

TL;DR: The largest maize crop model intercomparison to date, including 23 different models, is presented, suggesting that using an ensemble of models has merit and there was a large uncertainty in the yield response to [CO2 ] among models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a country-by-country, bottom-up approach to establish statistical estimates of actual grain yield, and compare these to modelled estimates of potential yields for either irrigated or rainfed conditions.

TL;DR: The simulation results showed that sowing wheat before December can result in higher yields in the absence of waterlogging, however, the high frequency of water logging on the clay soils, showed no average yield advantage of sowing before December.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of triticale traits on the performance of wheat was analyzed in a simulation experiment for three Mediterranean growing environments, two contrasting soil types and long-term historical weather data.
