A step-by-step flowchart outlining the detailed methodology for the three different objectives. The first objective—estimating the trend for each of the six climatic variables—maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin), diurnal range (DTR), precipitation (PT), relative humidity (RH), and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2)—is shown in blue boxes on the left, the second objective—quantifying the overall impact of climatic variables on maize yield—are shown in yellow boxes in the middle, and the third objective workflow—identifying the key months for crop-climate linkage—are shown in green boxes on the right.
