Fig. 5: Projected irrigation amount needed to offset climate change-induced yield losses in irrigated maize for 2050-2059 under SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, and SSP585 scenarios.

From: Increased irrigation could mitigate future warming-induced maize yield losses in the Ogallala Aquifer

a The additional irrigation amount needed to compensate for yield losses due to climate change was calculated as the ensemble mean of seven climate models, with the error bars showing the 2.5–97.5th percentiles. Values were weighted by gridded harvested areas. b Spatial distribution of the additional irrigation requirements for each climate scenarios.
