Fig. 5

a, d, g Show the absolute values of five different yield levels (YP Yield potential, HYP High-yield practice, HEP High-efficiency practice, FP Farmer practice, BSF Basic soil fertility) during the baseline period (1961–2020); b, e, h and c, f, i present the average yields projected based on the multi-GCM ensemble in the period of 2021–2100 under SSP245 and SSP585, respectively. Shaded ranges illustrate the interquartile range (IQR) of all global climate models (GCMs). The solid lines show the mean response curves (b, c, e, f, h, i). Box boundaries indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles; the line within each box marks the median; whiskers below and above the box indicate the 10th and 90th percentiles, respectively.
