Cover Story: In this study, the effects of a large number of climate indices (monthly) on the long-term yield of winter barley in one of the more fertile areas of Germany were determined. Positive winter indices occurred in the form of temperature thresholds (sum of the days on which the threshold values of 5 °C or 10 °C were exceeded) in November and February, indicating that there already were positive reactions to rising temperatures in these months. With regard to the significance of precipitation, both amount and intensity were significant. The frequently occurring negative contributions indicate that higher soil water content reduces yield. This evaluation makes it clear that climate conditions between sowing and spring determine the yield on this site significantly. View this paper
