Impact of climatic change on agricultural production in Kansas: a four-crop analysis

Auteur :
MCGREGOR, K.M.

Description :
Most scenarios of greenhouse-gas climatic change predict a warmer drier Great Plains environment. The goal of this research was to determine the resulting change in soil moisture and to relate this to changes in agricultural productivity. Soil moisture was used in regression-based models to predict yields for the four major grain crops: wheat, corn, soybeans, and grain sorghum.
