abstract = {Climate change has increasingly adverse effects on global
crop yields through the occurrence of heat waves, water
stress, and other weather-related extremes. Besides losses
of average yields, a decrease in yield stability—i.e. an
increase in variability of yields from year to year—poses
economic risks and threatens food security. Here we
investigate a number of climate indices related to adverse
weather events during the flowering of wheat, maize and
rapeseed, in the current cultivation areas as well as the
main European producer countries. In 52 projections from
regional climate models, we identify robust increases in the
interannual variability of temperature, precipitation and
soil moisture by $∼+20\%$ in standard deviation in the
model median. We find that winter wheat is most exposed to
variability increases, whereas rapeseed flowering escapes
the largest increases due to the early flowering time and
the northern locations of cultivation areas, while the
opposite (escape due to southern locations and late
flowering) is true for maize to some extent. Considering the
timing of crop development stages, we also find a robust
increase in the variability of the temporal occurrence of
flowering, which suggests a decreased reliability in the
timing of crop stages, hampering management steps like
fertilization, irrigation or harvesting. Our study raises
concerns for European crop yield stability in a warmer
climate and highlights the need for risk diversification
strategies in agricultural adaptation.},
