Major increases in crop yields will be required to meet the future demand for food worldwide, yet changes in climate and diminishing returns from technological advances may limit the ability of many regions to achieve the necessary gains ([1][1], [2][2]). Many researchers have predicted the effect

Crop yield response to economic, site and climatic variables (2010, background): “…models explicitly has reduced the effect of climate change on crop yield from that suggested by crop model simulations (Mendelsohn and Dinar 1999), while properly accounting for climatic events reduces the projected yield increases suggested by simple yield trend analysis (Lobell and Asner 2003).”
Impact of agricultural drought on main crop yields in the Republic of Moldova (2016, methodology): “In order to remove the effect of these non-climatic factors, and thus to isolate the variation resulting from climate, the de-trended yield was used (Lobell and Asner, 2003).”
Vulnerability and adaptation of European farmers: a multi-level analysis of yield and income responses to climate variability (2009, methodology): “Some examples are available in which statistical analyses have been used to explain climate change impacts on actual crop yields (Lobell and Asner 2003; Chen et al. 2004; Tao et al. 2006).”
Impacts of climate change on agriculture: Evidence from China (2016, background): “…have assessed the impacts of climate change on farmland value (Mendelsohn et al. 1994; Schlenker et al. 2006), and agricultural productivity (Lobell and Asner 2003; McCarl et al. 2008; Olesen and Bindi 2002; Ortiz-Bobea 2013; Schlenker and Roberts 2009) in the developed world, particularly…”
Prospects of doubling global wheat yields (2013, background): “For example, about $280 million has been spent on fungicides in eastern Australia to control stripe rust in wheat following a single incursion of the wheat stripe rust pathogen from North America in 2002 (Wellings 2007).”
Contributions of climatic and crop varietal changes to crop production in the North China Plain, since 1980s (2009, background): “Climate trends in the last two to three decades have been shown to impact on crop yields (Lobell & Asner, 2003) and vegetation and crop phenology (Menzel et al., 2001; Estrella et al., 2007) in other parts of the world.”
