Mitigation efforts will not fully alleviate the increase in water scarcity occurrence probability in wheat-producing areas
Submitted by susan on Thu, 2019-09-26 17:46
Global warming is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of severe water scarcity (SWS) events, which negatively affect rain-fed crops such as wheat, a key source of calories and protein for humans. Here, we develop a method to simultaneously quantify SWS over the world’s entire wheat-growing area and calculate the probabilities of multiple/sequential SWS events for baseline and future climates.
