Irrigation accounts for~ 70% of global freshwater withdrawals and~ 90% of consumptive
water use, driving myriad Earth system impacts. In this Review, we summarize how irrigation …

Soilless cultivation represent a valid opportunity for the agricultural production sector,
especially in areas characterized by severe soil degradation and limited water availability …

Potential climate-related impacts on future crop yield are a major societal concern. Previous
projections of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project's Global …

Adaptive management of crop growing periods by adjusting sowing dates and cultivars is
one of the central aspects of crop production systems, tightly connected to local climate …

Interactions between soil quality and climate change may influence the capacity of
croplands to produce sufficient food. Here, we address this issue by using a new dataset of …

Extreme climate events constitute a major risk to global food production. Among these,
extreme rainfall is often dismissed from historical analyses and future projections, the …

Crop yields are projected to decrease under future climate conditions, and recent research
suggests that yields have already been impacted. However, current impacts on a diversity of …

With rising demand for biomass, cropland expansion and intensification represent the main
strategies to boost agricultural production, but are also major drivers of biodiversity decline …

Increasing drought and extreme rainfall are major threats to maize production in the United
States. However, compared to drought impact, the impact of excessive rainfall on crop yield …

Extreme weather increases the risk of large-scale crop failure. The mechanisms involved are
complex and intertwined, hence undermining the identification of simple adaptation levers to …
