Impacts of population growth, economic development, and technical change on global food production and consumption (2011, neutral): “…negative agricultural impacts which influence the availability and fertility of land (Ramankutty et al., 2002), the length of the growing season (Lobell et al., 2008), fresh water endowments, pest occurrences, CO2 fertilization, and the frequency of extreme events related to draughts, flooding,…”

Cassava about‐FACE: Greater than expected yield stimulation of cassava (Manihot esculenta) by future CO2 levels (2012, background): “…[CO2] is of particular concern for food security as most local and global model projec- tions also agree that climate change will affect crop yields most severely in regions where undernourish- ment is already problematic (Easterling et al., 2007; Godfray et al., 2010; Lobell et al., 2008).”
Regional disparities in the CO2 fertilization effect and implications for crop yields (2013, background): “Some ignore the CFE altogether, which they justify because the study is focused only on the direct climate impacts (Lobell et al 2008) or because the CFE may 11748-9326/13/014054+09$33.00 c© 2013 IOP Publishing Ltd Printed in the UK be counteracted by factors such as pests and diseases not included…”
Climatic impacts across agricultural crop yield distributions: An application of quantile regression on rice crops in Andhra Pradesh, India (2013, methodology): “Given this illustrating example of forecasting exercises, we believe that this type of quantile regression analysis helps in prioritization of climate change adaptation needs, which in turn are very important from food security and poverty reduction perspectives (Lobell et al., 2008).”
Linking agricultural adaptation strategies, food security and vulnerability: evidence from West Africa (2016, positive): “Improved varieties (drought tolerant and/or short cycle) allow for increased productivity even during dry seasons (Lobell et al. 2008).”
Chlorophyll a fluorescence as a tool to monitor physiological status of plants under abiotic stress conditions (2016, neutral): “However, this goal is threatened by anthropogenic climate change which has the potential to dramatically reduce yields in affected regions (Lobell et al. 2008).”
Weather Index Insurance and Climate Change: Opportunities and Challenges in Lower Income Countries (2009, background): “…predict temperatures will increase and rainfall will become erratic with some regions experiencing increasing intensity in rainfall.25 For example, Lobell et al. (2008) examine 20 global circulation models (GCMs) for 12 food-insecure regions (e.g. Southern Africa, South-East Asia) and find…”
Teleconnected food supply shocks (2016, background): “…might also have adverse distributional impacts (Fraser et al 2016). special case as the three crops analyzed in this study contribute only 31% to the calories consumed by the poor in SSA (Lobell et al 2008) whereas they represent roughly half of the calories consumed by the world’s poor in general.”
Agriculture and resource availability in a changing world: The role of irrigation (2010, background): “These impacts will differ across locations and involve both improvements and deteriorations [Lobell et al., 2008;Milly et al., 2008; Ramankutty et al., 2002].”
Warming increases the risk of civil war in Africa (2009, background): “Temperature can affect agricultural yields both through increases in crop evapotranspiration (and hence heightened water stress in the absence of irrigation) and through accelerated crop development, with the combined effect of these 2 mechanisms often reducing African staple crop yields by 10%–30% ”
