High-Frequency Data Reveal Limits of Adaptation to Heat in Animal Agriculture
This study looks at the impacts of climate change on food systems with a focus on dairy products and concludes that extreme heat reduces milk yield.Read More →
Globally Increased Cropland Soil Exposure to Climate Extremes in Recent Decades
This study analyzes soil quality and soil degradation in areas with higher vulnerability to climate extremes.Read More →
Global impacts of heat and water stress on food production and severe food insecurity
In this peer-reviewed study, the authors assess impacts of water and heat stress on global food supply. Under three climate pathways (RCPs 4.5-SSP2, 8.5-SSP2, and 8.5-SSP3), the authors project declines in global food production by 6-14%.Read More →
Human-Induced Climate Change has Decreased Wheat Production in Northern Kazakhstan
In this peer-reviewed study, the authors quantify the impact of human-induced climate change on the average wheat production and associated economic revenues in northern Kazakhstan in the 21st centuryRead More →
Key tropical crops at risk from pollinator loss due to climate change and land use
This peer-reviewed study presents a global assessment of the interactive effects of climate change and land use on pollinator abundance, and attempts to predict how these changes might translate into agricultural risk worldwide.Read More →
Warming temperatures exacerbate groundwater depletion rates in India
This peer-reviewed study finds that farmers in India have adapted to warming temperatures by drawing down groundwater reservoirs, and that regional groundwater loss from 2041-2080 could be three times current depletion rates.Read More →
Evaluation of historical and future thermal conditions for almond trees in north-eastern Portugal
This peer-reviewed study uses climate modeling of moderate and high-warming scenarios to assess how climate change will threaten the growing conditions of almond trees in the Trás-os-Montes agrarian region of Portugal.Read More →
Synthesis Report of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report
This Synthesis Report summarizes the state of knowledge of climate change, its widespread impacts and risks, and climate change mitigation and adaptation, based on the peer-reviewed scientific, technical and socio-economic literature since 2014.Read More →
Increased probability of hot and dry weather extremes during the growing season threatens global crop yields
This peer-reviewed study estimates the impacts of combined hot and dry extremes as well as cold and wet extremes on maize, rice, soybean, and wheat yields at the global scale for 1980–2009.Read More →
Impacts of recent climate change on crop yield can depend on local conditions in climatically diverse regions of Norway
This peer-reviewed study evaluates the links between changes of temperature and precipitation and changes in wheat, barley, and potato yields at the county-level in Norway, demonstrating widely varying impacts by county.Read More →
