The Influence of Climate Change on Global Crop Productivity October 10, 2012
David B. Lobell* and Sharon M. Gourdji
Over the next few decades, CO2 trends will likely increase global yields by roughly 1.8% per decade.
At the same time, warming trends are likely to reduce global yields by roughly 1.5% per decade without effective adaptation, with a plausible range from roughly 0% to 4%.
The upper end of this range is half of the expected 8% rate of gain from technological and management improvements over the next few decades.
Many global change factors that will likely challenge yields, including higher O3 and greater rainfall intensity, are not considered in most current assessments.
