We link farmland values to climatic, soil, and socioeconomic variables for US counties east
of the 100th meridian, the historical boundary of agriculture not primarily dependent on …

Abstract For the 1980–2003 period, we analyzed the relationship between crop yield and

A process-based terrestrial ecosystem model, Agro-IBIS, was used to simulate maize yield in
a 13-state region of the US Corn Belt from 1958 to 1994 across a 0.5° terrestrial grid. For …
