Winners and Losers in the Context of Global Change (2003, background): “For example, at the national level, agriculture in the United States is expected to benefit from climate change (Fischer et al. 2001).”

Can sub-Saharan Africa feed itself? (2016, background): “Maximum cropland area in Niger is lower than the actual cropland area; much of the present cropland in Niger falls in a lower suitability class than used for future estimations (34, 52, 53).”
A status quo, vulnerability and adaptation assessment of the physical and socio-economic effects of climate change in the Western Cape (2005, background): “Coupled with warming, this implies net drying, with negative consequences on water supplies and agriculture (Fischer et al. 2002).”
Global rain-fed, irrigated, and paddy croplands: A new high resolution map derived from remote sensing, crop inventories and climate data (2015, methodology): “To ensure that the training site database successfully captured geographic variability in global croplands, we used the Global AgroEcological Zones described by Fischer et al. (2001) (Table 2) and assessed how well each agro-ecozone in each continent was sampled in the site database.”

Vulnerable or Resilient? A Multi-Scale Assessment of Climate Impacts and Vulnerability in Norway (2004, background): “A recent study by IIASA calculated the increase in cereal production in Norway to exceed 50%, compared to average production in 1992–1993, assuming one crop per year with a high level of inputs on land that is currently under cultivation (Fischer et al., 2001).”
Vulnerability and adaptation of European farmers: a multi-level analysis of yield and income responses to climate variability (2009, methodology): “The economic vulnerability of agriculture to climate change is assessed either by coupling crop and economic models (Fischer et al. 2002; Antle et al. 2004; Parry et al. 2004; van Meijl et al. 2006; Kokic et al. 2007) or by Ricardian analyses (e.g., Mendelsohn et al. 1994; Mendelsohn 2007).”
Adaptation to climate change through the choice of cropping system and sowing date in sub-Saharan Africa (2013, unknown): “Fischer et al. (2002) identiﬁed potential double and triple cropping zones by comparing temperature and moisture requirements of four crop groups with climatic conditions worldwide.”
