Fig. 7: Likelihood of crop yield loss under frequent occurrences of SHPE events across global croplands.
From: Risk of successive hot-pluvial extremes on crop yield loss over global breadbasket regions
The coincidences are quantified with values representing the maize (a), rice (b), soybean (c), and wheat (d) yield loss percentage predicted by an XGBoost classifier (in %) for the historical data from 1981 to 2016. The rest of the croplands (gray masks are similar to non-cropland) have insufficient data to validate a classifier model or no significant dependency corresponding to the effects of frequent SHPE events.
