Improvement of crop yield in dry environments: benchmarks, levels of organisation and the role of nitrogen

Improvement of crop yield in dry environments: benchmarks, levels of organisation and the role of nitrogen

Naive methods, rather than yield complexity, constrain the improvement of crop adaptation to drought; predicting how traits scale to crop level and a dual perspective on water and nitrogen are advocated.
