Invasive species, climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation : addressing multiple drivers of global change (2010, neutral): “Even so, the overall impacts of climate change on agriculture are expected to be severely negative (Chang 2002, Nelson et al. 2009).”
Agricultural technologies for climate change in developing countries: Policy options for innovation and technology diffusion (2012, neutral): “…will play a critical role in both mitigation and adaptation, but will itself be shaped importantly by climate change Climate change will affect the global pattern of comparative advantage and attempts to block the force of global markets would be costly and counterproductive (Nelson et al., 2009).”
Food security, farming, and climate change to 2050: challenges to 2050 and beyond (2010, neutral): “Unlike previous research, including our own (for example, Nelson et al. 2009) which relied on a single baseline scenario of GDP and population, this research uses three combinations of income and population growth: a baseline scenario that is “middle of the road”; a pessimistic scenario that, while…”
Plant tolerance to high temperature in a changing environment: scientific fundamentals and production of heat stress-tolerant crops (2013, positive): “Finally, we review possible procedures and methods which could lead to the generation of new varieties with sustainable yield production, in a world likely to be challenged both by increasing population, higher average temperatures and larger temperature fluctuations.”
Agriculture and climate change in global scenarios: why don't the models agree (2014, neutral): “Nelson et al./Agricultural Economics 45 (2014) 85–101”
Impact of climate change on biodiversity and associated key ecosystem services in Africa: a systematic review (2018, neutral): “Nelson et al. (2009) predicted that the net effects of climate change on agriculture in many developing countries would be negative (Nelson et al. 2009).”
Climate change's impact on key ecosystem services and the human well‐being they support in the US (2013, neutral): “For example, Nelson et al. (2009) predicted that climate change will disrupt agricultural productivity both domestically and internationally to such an extent that global prices for wheat, maize, and beef, to name just three commodities, will be 90%, 50%, and 20% higher, respectively, by 2050 than…”
Brief history of agricultural systems modeling (2017, neutral): “…returns on investments in research for development, the increased interest in liberalizing global agricultural trade, the evaluation of ecosystem services, and impacts of climate change and adaptation (Rosenzweig and Parry, 1994; Curry et al., 1990; Thornton et al., 2006; Nelson et al., 2009).”
Smallholder productivity and weather shocks: Adoption and impact of widely promoted agricultural practices in Tanzania (2017, neutral): “Forecasts for SSA show that ceteris paribus, rice, wheat, and maize yields are likely to decline in the next thirty years by 15 percent, 34 percent, and 10 percent, respectively (Nelson et al., 2009).”
Crops that feed the World 2. Soybean—worldwide production, use, and constraints caused by pathogens and pests (2011, neutral): “Finally, global climate change will have a major impact on agriculture as new weather patterns emerge causing shifts in temperatures and rainfall that will affect agroecological zones (Nelson 2009).”
Beyond the agroecological and sustainable agricultural intensification debate: Is blended sustainability the way forward? (2018, neutral): “This is particularly the case in low-income countries where food production has been impacted by extreme changes in temperature and rainfall patterns (Nelson et al., 2009; van Noordwijk, Hoang, Neufeldt, Öborn, & Yatich, 2011).”
