Not exact matches

If the spring and summer don't bring some wet relief, the U.S. might well face another year of very low yields after last year's summer drought — with the difference that global wheat, corn and soybean stocks this time around would already be depleted.

Subsequently cited in 54 papers, the Science study showed that even using the lower end of 23 climate models suggested that in the tropics at the end of the century, «the hottest seasons on record will represent the future norm in many locations,» with the devastating impacts on wheat and rice yields.

The result is both a lower yield of wheat and grains of inferior quality.

Wheat yields were low and static, with a national average yield of 750 kilos per hectare, even though most of the wheat was grown on irrigated Wheat yields were low and static, with a national average yield of 750 kilos per hectare, even though most of the wheat was grown on irrigated wheat was grown on irrigated land.

- Amaranth, buckwheat, chia, millet, quinoa, sorghum, kamut, einkorn, spelt and teff (which are sometimes called «ancient grains» because each was an important food source for ancient civilizations, and although not 100 % gluten - free, are much lower or non-existent in gliadin content compared to modified, high - yield wheat crops).

The Mail on Sunday says the Summary warns of negative impacts on crop yields, with warming responsible for lower yields of wheat, maize, soya and rice.

5 percent to 15 percent lower yields of some crops, including U.S. and African corn and Indian wheat, per degree Celsius of warming.

Interactive Effects of CO2, Drought and Zinc Supply on Wheat (12 July 2017) Elevated CO2 improves the growth and yield of wheat, ameliorating the negative impacts of drought and low Wheat (12 July 2017) Elevated CO2 improves the growth and yield of wheat, ameliorating the negative impacts of drought and low wheat, ameliorating the negative impacts of drought and low Zn...

Other major climate impacts at 2 degrees Celsisus include severe threats to coral reefs across the globe, a greater risk of long lasting heat waves and extreme rainfall events, and the risk of lower yields for key crops like wheat in the globe's tropical regions.

Crop ecologists have a rule of thumb that each 1 - degree - Celsius rise in temperature above the norm during the growing season lowers wheat, rice, and corn yields by 10 percent.

As extreme heat spreads across the middle of the country by the end of the century, some states in the Southeast, lower Great Plains, and Midwest risk up to a 50 % to 70 % loss in average annual crop yields (corn, soy, cotton, and wheat), absent agricultural adaptation.

Their findings suggest a rule of thumb that a 1 - degree - Celsius rise in temperature above the norm during the growing season lowers wheat, rice, and corn yields by 10 percent.

say it has been predicted that «the average temperature in the semiarid northwest portion of China in 2050 will be 2.2 °C higher than it was in 2002,» and they report that based on the observed results of their study, this increase in temperature «will lead to a significant change in the growth stages and water use of winter wheat,» such that «crop yields at both high and low altitudes will likely increase,» by 2.6 % at low altitudes and 6.0 % at high altitudes... Even without the benefits of the aerial fertilization effect and the anti-transpiration effect of the ongoing rise in the air's CO2 content, the increase in temperature that is predicted by climate models for the year 2050, if it ever comes to pass, will likely lead to increases in winter wheat production in the northwestern part of China, not the decreases that climate alarmists routinely predict.»
