The fingerprints of climate warming on cereal crops phenology and adaptation options
Growth and development of cereal crops are linked to weather, day length and growing
degree-days (GDDs) which make them responsive to the specific environments in specific …

Agriculture in West Africa in the twenty-first century: climate change and impacts scenarios, and potential for adaptation
West Africa is known to be particularly vulnerable to climate change due to high climate
variability, high reliance on rain-fed agriculture, and limited economic and institutional …

A regional comparison of factors affecting global sorghum production: The case of North America, Asia and Africa's Sahel
Understanding the dynamics of food production is critical to improving food security. This is
particularly important in regions that rely on subsistence agriculture with little adaptive …

Rainfall trends in the African Sahel: Characteristics, processes, and causes
M Biasutti - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Sahel rainfall is dynamically linked to the global Hadley cell and to the regional monsoon
circulation. It is therefore susceptible to forcings from remote oceans and regional land alike …

Millets for food security in the context of climate change: A review
A growing population means an ever-increasing demand for food. This global concern has
led to antagonism over resources such as water and soil. Climate change can directly …

Model uncertainties in climate change impacts on Sahel precipitation in ensembles of CMIP5 and CMIP6 simulations
The impact of climate change on Sahel precipitation suffers from large uncertainties and is
strongly model-dependent. In this study, we analyse sources of inter-model spread in Sahel …
