Emergence of robust precipitation changes across crop production areas in the 21st century
Emergence of robust precipitation changes across crop production areas in the 21st century
Using 21st century climate model projections we show that for many crop-producing regions, average precipitation will change by more than the long-term natural variability, even under a low-emission scenario. However, emissions compatible with the Paris Agreement can significantly reduce cropped land affected. We identify the regions where adaptation measures are most needed.
