Sensitivity of Cropping Patterns in Africa to Transient Climate Change

Sensitivity of Cropping Patterns in Africa to Transient Climate Change

The detailed analysis of current cropping areas in Africa presented here reveals significant climate sensitivities of cropland density and distribution across a variety of agro-ecosystems. Based on empirical climate-cropland relationships, cropland...
