Impact of Soil Moisture on Crop Yields over Brazilian Semiarid

Impact of Soil Moisture on Crop Yields over Brazilian Semiarid

The objective of this work was to investigate the relationship between soil water content and rainfall with rice, beans, cassava and corn yields in the semiarid region of Northeast Brazil. Precipitation and modeled soil water content were compared to yields recorded at the county levels in this regi...
