Impacts of integrated meteorological and agricultural drought on global maize yields by Jiao Wang, Wenbin Liu, Dongqin Yin

“…In this study, we investigated the spatial and temporal variations in drought and its impacts on maize production using the composite agricultural drought index (CADI), which integrates the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) and the standardized soil moisture index (SSMI) based on the Copula function. The impacts of drought on the meteorological maize yield were quantified across global maize-growing regions from 1981 to 2022. …”
