Climate Change Impacts on Yields and Soil Carbon in Row Crop Dryland Agriculture

Dryland agroecosystems could be a sizable sink for atmospheric carbon (C) due to their spatial extent and level of degradation, providing climate change mitigation. We examined productivity and soil C dynamics under two climate change scenarios (moderate warming, representative concentration pathway [RCP] 4.5; and high warming, RCP 8.5), using long‐term experimental data and the DayCent process‐based model for three sites with varying climates...
