TL;DR: While no yield difference was observed among regions or different soil texture, wheat cultivation in the dryland was more prone to yield loss than in the non-dryland region, and potential causes and possible approaches that may minimize drought impacts are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected data from peer-reviewed publications between 1980 and 2015 which examined maize and wheat yield responses to drought using field experiments and performed unweighted analysis using the log response ratio to calculate the bootstrapped confidence limits of yield responses and calculated drought sensitivities with regards to those covarying factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantitatively synthesized different ecosystem services provided by cover crops (e.g., erosion control, water quality regulation, soil moisture retention, accumulation of soil organic matter and microbial biomass, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, weed and pest control, as well as yield of the subsequent cash crop) using data from previous publications.

TL;DR: Previous meta-analysis studies summarizing the results of numerous independent field experiments on drought and its effect on the production of cereal, legume, root and/or tuber (root/tuber) crops indicated that cereals tended to be more drought resistant than legumes and root/tubers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used literature synthesis and quantitative analysis to identify the major benefits and issues of terracing and found that terracing can improve ecosystem services (ESs) in tropical and subtropical rainforests, deserts, and arid and semiarid mountains across the globe.
