Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Sorghum photosynthetic assimilation and production parameters were decoupled.
- Intervention effect High temperature and elevated CO2 increased sorghum above- and below-ground biomass with sufficient water.
- Observation Barley showed no significant climate-factor interactions and no drought mitigation by elevated CO2.
- Observation Sorghum was predicted to have higher climate-response variability than barley.
- Observation C4 crops were expected to outperform under elevated CO2, high temperature, and adequate water.
- Observation C3 crops were expected to perform better under drought with lower temperatures.
