Sentences with phrase «warming on crop yields»

The impacts of warming on crop yields are not automatically assumed, for instance, though they can be modelled by the user.

Not exact matches

The form of phosphate plants can use is in danger of reaching its peak — when supply fails to keep up with demand — in just 30 years, potentially decreasing the rate of crop yield as the as the world population continues to climb and global warming stresses crop yields, which could have damaging effects on the global food supply.

The new study, published in Nature Geoscience, takes the theory a step further — not only linking a warm Arctic to unusual weather patterns in North America, but also to the impacts on plant growth and crop yields.

In fact, the I.P.C.C. WGII report, in the chapter on North America says «Research since the [last IPCC report] supports the conclusion that moderate climate change will likely increase yields on North American rain fed agriculture... Most studies project likely climate - related yield increases of 5 - 20 % over the first decades of the century... Major challenges are projected for crops that are near the warm end of their suitable range or depend on highly utilized water resources.»

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.

Focusing on specialty fruit production, Houston et al. (2018) find that overall warmer conditions and reduced water availability may reduce net returns on crops due to increasing farming costs, affecting yields and altering product quality.

At a time when global warming is projected to produce more extreme weather, the study provides the most comprehensive look yet at the influence of such events on crop area, yields and production around the world.

Moderate climate change in the coming decades is projected to increase overall yields by 5 - 20 % on agricultural lands that rely of rainfall, although major challenges are projected for crops that are near the warm end of their suitable range.

As far as crops go, the problem is this: Changes to the hydrological cycle as a result of global warming may be neutral on a 100 - year timescale, as far as crop yields are concerned.

You are unable to demonstrate based on empirical data that these temperatures will be harmful — and there are some indications that a slightly warmer temperature (especially in the higher latitudes, where GH warming is supposed to oiccur) will increase arable land surface across N. America, and Eurasia, lengthen growing seasons and result in higher overall crop yields.

On the other hand, elevated CO2 and a warmer climate provide unheralded benefits to the biosphere (i.e., a greener planet and enhanced crop yields).
