Separating heat stress from moisture stress: analyzing yield response to high temperature in irrigated maize

Several recent studies have indicated that high air temperatures are limiting maize ( Zea mays L.) yields in the US Corn Belt and project significant yield losses with expected increases in growing season temperatures. Further work has suggested that high air temperatures are indicative of high evap...
