Journal ArticleDOI
Climate Trends and Global Crop Production Since 1980
TL;DR: It was found that in the cropping regions and growing seasons of most countries, with the important exception of the United States, temperature trends from 1980 to 2008 exceeded one standard deviation of historic year-to-year variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear temperature effects indicate severe damages to U.S. crop yields under climate change
TL;DR: Yields increase with temperature but that temperatures above these thresholds are very harmful, suggesting limited historical adaptation of seed varieties or management practices to warmer temperatures because the cross-section includes farmers' adaptations to warmer climates and the time-series does not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust negative impacts of climate change on African agriculture
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that by combining historical crop production and weather data into a panel analysis, a robust model of yield response to climate change emerges for several key African crops, including maize, sorghum, millet, groundnut, and cassava.
Journal ArticleDOI
Greater sensitivity to drought accompanies maize yield increase in the U.S. Midwest
David B. Lobell,Michael J. Roberts,Wolfram Schlenker,Noah Braun,Bertis B. Little,Roderick M. Rejesus,Graeme Hammer +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that agronomic changes tend to translate improved drought tolerance of plants to higher average yields but not to decreasing drought sensitivity of yields at the field scale, which is a key question for climate change adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The critical role of extreme heat for maize production in the United States
David B. Lobell,Graeme Hammer,Greg McLean,Carlos D. Messina,Michael J. Roberts,Wolfram Schlenker +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a process-based agricultural production system simulator (APSIM) is used to simulate the effects of extreme degree days (EDD) on maize yields in the United States.
