Model-aided Climate Adaptation for Future Maize in the U.S.

Over the next three decades rising population and changing dietary preferences are expected to increase food demand by 25-75%. At the same time climate is also changing –with potentially drastic impacts on food production. Breeding new crop …

Maize yield under a changing climate: The hidden role of vapor pressure deficit

Temperatures over the next century are expected to rise to levels detrimental to crop growth and yield. As the atmosphere warms without additional water vapor input, vapor pressure deficit (VPD) increases as well. Increased temperatures and …
