The solid lines highlight average projections with the colored shadow areas displaying the 2.5th–97.5th percentile range of 1000 bootstraps × 7 climate models (sample size = 7000). The dots are average, and the error bars show the 2.5th–97.5th percentile range of projected yield impacts by 2100. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
