Reinspecting the Climate-Crop Yields Relationship at a Finer Scale and the Climate Damage Evaluation: Evidence from China

Figure 1

Climate effects on the crop yields of maize and wheat in the past 30 years (1985–2015). The vertical box-and-whisker plots reflect the climate-induced yield change distribution among crop planting zones in each year, with some outliers denoted by circles and stars; the orange lines connect the medians of yield change and the red lines indicate the long-term trend of yield change for each crop. (a) Spring maize. (b) Summer maize. (c) Winter wheat. (d) Spring wheat.
