Climate change alters the climatic suitability of croplands, likely shifting spatial distribution and diversity global food crop production. Analyses future potential have been limited to a small number crops. Here we project geographical shifts in niches 30 major crops under 1.5-4 °C warming assess their impact on current production across croplands. We found that low-latitude regions, 10-31% would shift outside niche even 2 warming, increasing 20-48% 3 warming. Concurrently, decline 52%...

Abstract Anthropogenic eutrophication is one of the most common threats to inland water quality, often causing toxic algal blooms and loss aquatic biodiversity. Mitigating harmful impacts requires managing nutrient inputs from catchment focusing on major local drivers eutrophication. These can be identified using models that predict lake trophic state based characteristics its catchment. In this study, we aimed extend spatial scope these by identifying in a large sample lakes (1547)...

<title>Abstract</title> Recommended solutions and innovations to shape sustainable food systems need be socioeconomically feasible implemented. The numerous publications the nuance of topic obfuscate comprehension most crucial socioeconomic measures required for successful implementation concrete policy formulation. Therefore, a clear comprehensive overview available evidence on is needed, especially focusing feasibility, which has not been done before. To address this research gap, we...

Abstract Climate change alters the climatic suitability of important food production areas, likely shifting spatial distribution and diversity future production. In existing research, there is limited knowledge on croplands for crop types beyond staple four: rice, maize, wheat, soybean. Further, focusing a number has hindered analysing how might in future. This study extends by projecting geographical shifts niches 27 major crops assessing these affect current potential global croplands. We...

Climate change has already impacted the productivity of important food crops. The projected increasing temperatures and changing precipitation patterns affect climatic suitability production areas. Changes in require adaptive actions on farms will likely alter potential volume diversity crop globally.Existing research mostly analysed impacts climate four staple crops: wheat, rice, maize, soybean. However, other crops contribute more than 50% to global calorie protein supply therefore...
