Wheat yields at risk as climate models diverge on future projections
The study compared two methods of predicting future climate change and its impact on wheat yields in New South Wales, Australia. They found that statistical downscaling was better at reproducing past climate patterns than dynamical downscaling. The two methods differed in their projections of future climate change, except for rainfall levels. Additionally, there were significant differences in projected wheat yields between the two methods at two out of three locations.
