Implication

Systematic review evaluates climate impacts on crop yield and adaptation effectiveness in arid regions, highlighting critical gaps.

Key Points

This review assesses the variability in crop yields due to climate change and evaluates the effectiveness of adaptation strategies across various regions.
Systematic review of 157 crop modeling studies conducted from 2005 to 2024.
Assessment focused on five crops: maize, wheat, rice, sorghum, and barley.
Data collected from six databases through an independent dual review process.
Rising temperatures led to a 20.32% reduction in maize yields (range = 0.4–63%) and a 15% reduction in wheat yields (range = 0.05–64%).
Localized adaptation strategies offset 12–19% of climate-driven yield reductions overall.
Europe and North America showed better adaptation effectiveness compared to East and South Asia and Eastern Africa.
