Note:
The map shows the mean relative changes in water-limited crop yield simulated by the ClimateCrop model for the 2050s compared
with the period 1961–1990 for 12 different climate model projections under the A1B emissions scenario. The simulation assumes that
the irrigated area remains constant, and the results combine the response of the key crops wheat, maize and soybean, weighted by
their current distribution.
