Therefore, a major concern
arises for the long-term productivity and sustainability of dry land
broadacre cropping systems under future climate conditions (Anwar
et al., 2013; Challinor et al., 2014; Rodríguez et al., 2014; Stokes and
Howden, 2010). A strong scientific evidence base is needed to help
farmers choose resilient strategies and to guide research and development
(R&D) investments in the presence of climate change
