Climate change analysis indicate that cereal agriculture in mid- to high-latitude regions will benefit from moderate increases in temperature (IPCC, 2007). However, cereal crop yields demonstrate high variability across diverse terrain, indicating that the impact of climate change on rotational agricultural systems may vary across landscapes.
