Combined and separate effects of future climate change and elevated atmospheric CO2 on maize growth and water consumption in the US Corn Belt.
BACKGROUND The joint effects of climate change and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) can alter maize phenology, yield, and water use, but the extent to which elevated [CO2] offsets climate-related impacts on C4 maize remains uncertain. This study quantified the combined and separate effects of future climate...
