In most of Argentina, the warming since 1901 was a little lower than the global average,
although with strong trends in temperature extremes and in heat waves during the most …

Before the introduction of genetically modified insect-tolerant maize (Zea mays L.) in 1997,
most of the production of this staple in Argentina was concentrated in humid and sub-humid …

Favorable climate and soils for rainfed crop production, together with a relatively low
population density, results in 70–90% of Argentina grain production being exported. No …

Large-scale modes of climate variability can force widespread crop yield anomalies and are
therefore often presented as a risk to food security. We quantify how modes of climate …

Advances in our ability to predict climate fluctuations months in advance suggest opportunity
to improve management of climatic risk in agriculture, but only if particular conditions are in …

Background Climate is a key input of rain-fed agriculture. Climate variability and change has
been the most important determinant of crop yields in Kenya and other parts of the world …

Climate variability leads to economic and food security risks throughout the world because
of its major influences on agriculture. Accurate forecasts of climate 3–6 months ahead of …

Grassland to forest conversions currently affect some of the world's most productive regions
and have the potential to modify many soil properties. We used afforestation of native …

Agricultural ecosystems and their associated business and government systems are diverse
and varied. They range from farms, to input supply businesses, to marketing and …

That climate variability and change can potentially force multiple simultaneous breadbasket
crop yield shocks has been established. But research quantifying the mechanisms behind …
