Growth and development of cereal crops are linked to weather, day length and growing
degree-days (GDDs) which make them responsive to the specific environments in specific …

Vegetation phenology is considered an important biological indicator in understanding the
behaviour of ecosystems and how it responds to environmental cues. Changes in vegetation …

A paper published in Global Change Biology in 2006 revealed that phenological responses
in 1971–2000 matched the warming pattern in Europe, but a lack of chilling and adaptation …

Efforts to anticipate how climate change will affect future food availability can benefit from
understanding the impacts of changes to date. We found that in the crop** regions and …

Long-term warming trends across the globe have shifted the distribution of temperature
variability, such that what was once classified as extreme heat relative to local mean …

Abiotic stress conditions such as drought, heat, or salinity cause extensive losses to
agricultural production worldwide. Progress in generating transgenic crops with enhanced …

Elevated CO2 and temperature strongly affect crop production, but understanding of the crop
response to combined CO2 and temperature increases under field conditions is still limited …

Dormancy is the mechanism that plants use to protect sensitive tissue from unfavourable
climatic conditions. In a changing global environment, temperate fruit crop adaptation might …

Crop production is inherently sensitive to variability in climate. Temperature is a major
determinant of the rate of plant development and, under climate change, warmer …

Crop production is greatly impacted by growing season duration, which is driven by
prevailing environmental conditions (mainly temperature) and agronomic management …
