Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Wheat grain yields increased in every subarea until the early 1980s.
- Observation Since 1990, North Central Texas wheat grain yields decreased.
- Observation Since 1990, Oklahoma wheat grain yields remained somewhat steady.
- Observation Kansas wheat grain yields trended upward.
- Observation Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota wheat yields increased significantly.
- Observation Annual temperatures increased in all subareas, especially northern subareas.
- Observation At Bushland, newly released cultivars headed 2.3 days earlier every 10 years versus 1.6 days for Kharkof.
- Mechanism The authors infer that earlier heading likely decreases yield through a shorter grain filling period.
- Mechanism The authors attribute increased northern yields to warmer temperatures reducing winter killing and adding growing degree days.
- Observation Rising temperatures appear to make southern Great Plains winter wheat production more challenging.
- Observation Rising temperatures appear to make northern Great Plains winter wheat production more favorable.
