Climate Change and Agriculture in Latin America
... For maize, climate change could reduce yields throughout Latin America, regardless of the emission scenario or GCM. This is mainly due to the shorter grain-filling period not being compensated for by the higher daily biomass accumulation rates and the CO2 fertilization effect. The countries most aff ...
