Fig. 5.4 Probability of exceedance for maize grain and stover yield reductions simulated by
APSIM and DSSAT models for RCP4.5 and 8.5 for hot/wet and hot/dry climate scenarios. 8.5_
HW_1, 8.5_HW_2, 8.5_HW_3 = RCP8.5, hot/wet for poor, average and better soils, respectively.
HD represent hot/dry; HW represent hot/wet
model shows more pronounced reduction of maize stover yields. Both models show
yield benefits under elevated CO 2 concentration for groundnuts negating the effects
of increased temperatures when evaluating the combined effects of the climatic factors. However, yield increases for both groundnut grain and stover are more
