Potential effects of global climatic change on the phenology and yield of maize in Venezuela

Simulated impacts of global and regional climate change, induced by an enhanced greenhouse effect and by Amazonian deforestation, on the phenology and yeild of two grain corn cultivars in Venezuela are reported. The reduction of the duration of the kernel filling phase has the largest effect on yiel...
