Pakistan is vulnerable to climate change, and extreme climatic conditions are threatening food security. This study examines the effects of climate change (e.g., maximum temperature, minimum temperature, rainfall, relative humidity, and the sunshine) on the major crops of Pakistan (e.g., wheat, rice, maize, and sugarcane). The methods of feasible generalized least square (FGLS) and heteroscedas...

Sunshine can have a profound impact on the systematic change in climate elements, such as temperature and wind speed, and in turn affects many aspects of the human society. In recent years, there has been a substantial interest in the variation of sunshine duration due to the dramatic global climate change. Hence, there is a need to better understand the variation of sunshine duration in order ...

introductionit is expected that projected changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climate events, such as increased frequency of heat stress, droughts and flooding will have significant consequences on water resources. increasing pressure on water resources due to climatic and anthropogenic changes as well as increasing competition among users is recognized challenges worldwide. global...

Yield prediction before harvesting is one of the tools in order to planning food production supply in future.Yield prediction was carried out for Wheat(Triticum aestivum) using different meteorological variables with agrometeorological indices in Hamedan district during 2003-04 and 2004-05. According to correlation coefficients, standard error of estimate as well as relative deviation of predic...

The crops that we grow for food need specific climatic conditions to show better performance in view of economic yield. A changing climate could have both beneficial and harmful effects on crops. Keeping the above view in mind, this study is undertaken to investigate the impacts of climate change (viz. changes in maximum temperature, minimum temperature, rainfall, humidity and sunshine) on the ...

global warming caused by human activity and climate change is one of the issues attracted that has attention of many climate scientists. the relationship between climate parameters should be used in climate change studies to understand the complex nature of the environment and predict changes in the future. the reliable tool to investigate climate change effects on different systems is using th...
