Abstract: Global dimming, a decadal decrease in incident global radiation, is often accompanied with an increase in the diffuse-radiation fraction, and therefore the impact of global dimming on crop production is hard to predict. A popular… read more here.

Abstract: Global dimming reduces incident global radiation but increases the fraction of diffuse radiation, and thus affects crop yields; however, the underlying mechanisms of such an effect have not been revealed. We hypothesised that crop source-sink… read more here.
