Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Potential sugar beet yields increased north to south and west to east with higher radiation.
- Observation Drought losses in east Ukraine and southern Russia exceeded 40% of potential yield.
- Observation Drought losses in central Ukraine, west Poland, east Germany and sandy soils in England were intermediate at 15–30%.
- Observation Drought losses were lowest in NW Europe and west Ukraine.
- Observation Future climate is expected to increase sugar yield in northern Europe by around 1 Uha in 2021–50.
- Observation Future climate is expected to decrease sugar yield by a similar magnitude in northern France, Belgium and west-central Poland.
- Observation Future drought losses are expected to approximately double where drought is already a problem.
- Observation Drought is expected to become a serious new problem in NE France and Belgium.
- Observation Annual yield variability is expected to increase by half.
- Observation Higher atmospheric CO2 is expected to increase yield by 10% directly.
