Consequences of climate change for the climate in …

This study aims to evaluate climate quantitatively under present and projected climatic conditions across Central (12.1°–18.9° E and 46.8°–51.1° N) and the U.S. Central Plains (90°–104° W and 37°–49° N), with a special focus on temperature, hydric regime, drought risk and potential productivity (assessed as a period suitable for crop growth). The analysis was ...
