Diverging importance of drought stress for maize and winter wheat in Europe

Diverging importance of drought stress for maize and winter wheat in Europe

Drivers of crop yield variability require quantification, and historical records can help in improving understanding. Here, Webber et al. report that drought stress will remain a key driver of yield losses in wheat and maize across Europe, and benefits from CO2 will be limited in low-yielding years.
