The findings are <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/gcb.17556\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">published<\/a> in the peer-reviewed journal Global Change Biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rising temperatures and increasing weather extremes pose a significant threat to global food security, emphasizing the need for sustainable agricultural practices. Crop rotation, the practice of alternating crops in the same field, has been proven beneficial. However, this new study reveals just how sensitive these benefits are to climatic conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research highlights that corn benefits from rotation in colder regions, while soybeans see more advantages in warmer areas. Additionally, non-growing season warming diminishes corn yields&#8217; benefits, while growing season warming enhances soybeans&#8217; yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCorn and soybeans may experience different crop rotation benefit changes in the future, which can help U.S. farmers make more informed decisions when facing climate warming,\u201d first author Junxiong Zhou, a doctoral candidate in the University of Minnesota\u2019s Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering (BBE), said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/cse.umn.edu\/college\/news\/new-study-shows-corn-soybean-crop-rotation-benefits-are-extremely-sensitive-climate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study used satellite data and a &#8220;causal forest model,&#8221; a sophisticated machine learning method, to estimate crop rotation benefits under various climate scenarios in the U.S. Midwest. This model allowed the researchers to understand cause-and-effect relationships in data at a granular level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMillions of satellite observations and advanced machine learning models enable us to quantify the climate impacts on crop rotation benefits at the subfield level over the Midwest,\u201d added senior author Zhenong Jin, an associate professor in BBE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agricultural experts believe this study underscores the power of machine learning in estimating the large-scale effects of farming practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis study demonstrates the great potential of interpretable machine learning for estimating large-scale effects of agricultural management practices,\u201d added David Mulla, a professor and Larson Endowed Chair in soil and water resources at the U of M\u2019s College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, and a senior researcher at the AI Institute for Climate-Land Interactions, Mitigation, Adaptation, Tradeoffs and Economy (AI-CLIMATE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the future, researchers aim to broaden their study to include long-term diverse crop rotations and their interactions with all-season climates. Further studies will explore crop management at the field level, focusing on nutrient cycling and pest dynamics amidst changing climate scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research was a collaborative effort, including contributions from Peng Zhu at The University of Hong Kong and Dan M.
