Assessing changes and predictability of crop yields and failure risk in the United States: The Impact from Large-scale Climate Circulations

Schillerberg, Tayler (2019-07-12)

The weather of the growing season influences crop production and yield. These changes in crop yields can result in economic loss and increases in global food insecurity drastically especially when high production areas are ...

Climate Change Implications on Rainfall Erosivity and Intensity Duration Frequency Curves over the Southeast United States

Takhellambam, Bijoychandra Singh (2023-08-04) ETD File Embargoed

Climate change impacts on precipitation characteristics will alter the hydrologic characteristics, such as peak flows, time to peak, and soil erosion potential. However, many of the currently available climate change ...

Community Dynamics of the Phyllosphere Microbiome

Brokaw, Destiny (2022-04-29)

The phyllosphere of a plant creates a complex niche for inhabiting microorganisms in which interactions will occur. The dynamics of the interactions between a foliar plant pathogen, Xanthomonas perforans, and the resident ...

Data-Driven Agroclimate Modeling and Forecasting Based on Earth Observations and Predictions: A Study of Evapotranspiration, Precipitation, and Crop Yields

Medina, Hanoi (2020-04-17)

Meeting the growing food demand in a sustainable manner is the main challenge faced by agriculture, at a time when the climate changes increasingly threaten food security. Innovative agro-climate approaches are needed to ...

Impact of Climate Change on Storage Conditions for Major Agricultural Commodities across the Contiguous United States

Lesinger, Kyle (2020-07-30)

Changes in postharvest storage conditions due to climate change can directly affect energy usage and food supply and quality. However, no study has assessed climate change impacts on postharvest storage conditions in ...
