"Crop yield anomaly forecasting in the Pannonian basin using gradient boosting and its performance in years of severe drought" by Bueechi et al. (2023)
The increasing frequency and intensity of severe droughts over recent decades have led to substantial crop yield losses in the Pannonian Basin in southeastern Europe. Their socioeconomic consequences can be minimized by accurate crop yield forecasts, but such forecasts often underestimate the impact of severe droughts on crop yields. We developed a gradient-boosting-based crop yield anomaly forecasting system for the Pannonian Basin and examined its performance, with a focus on drought years. Winter wheat and maize yield anomalies are forecasted for 42 regions in the Pannonian Basin using predictor datasets from Earth observation and reanalysis describing vegetation state, weather, and soil moisture conditions.
