Multi-annual prediction of drought and heat stress to support decision making in the wheat sector
Abstract Drought and heat stress affect global wheat production and food security. Since these climate hazards are expected to increase in frequency and intensity due to anthropogenic climate change, there is a growing need for effective planning and adaptive actions at all timescales relevant to th...
