Heat stress to bring big changes to the US corn belt

Climate change will bring new challenges for farmers as growing zones shift, and preparing for these shifts is vital for future food security worldwide. New research from UConn Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Center for Environmental Sciences and Engineering researchers Meijan Yang and Professor Guiling Wang suggests that as the climate changes, we will see crop yield changes in one of the most productive growing regions in the United States. The study is published in Agricultural Systems.
