We Although crop-simulation models typically include equations used nine years of satellite measurements of wheat growth to model the effects of temperature on both development and in northern India to monitor rates of wheat senescence grain-filling rates, models differ in exactly how these mechanisms following exposure to temperatures greater than 34 ◦ C.

For example, the detect a statistically significant acceleration of senescence Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) model used in from extreme heat, above and beyond the effects of increased ref. 2 includes a separate equation to speed up senescence for tem- average temperatures. Simulations with two commonly used peratures above 34 ◦ C, which results in a decline in photosynthesis process-based crop models indicate that existing models and grain-filling rates, whereas models such as the widely used Crop underestimate the effects of heat on senescence.

These trials vary in many aspects, including the variety used, dates. These results imply that warming presents an even air humidity, soil moisture, the speed at which temperatures are greater challenge to wheat than implied by previous modelling increased from ambient levels, and the timing, severity and duration studies, and that the effectiveness of adaptations will depend of heat exposure in the life cycle1,7,14,15 . Such differences make it hard on how well they reduce crop sensitivity to very hot days. to interpret the often large spread in observed effects of extreme Wheat is harvested annually on more than 220 million hectares heat on grain size, development, senescence or yield.

In particular, wheat is sown earlier in the northwest state The MODIS-based regression models for GSL indicate that of Punjab, and later by a month or more at the eastern edge of Uttar warming the region by 2 ◦ C would shorten the photosynthetically Pradesh and into Bihar (Supplementary Fig. S1 shows a distribution active part of the growing season by roughly nine days, with of sow dates across the region for all years). The successive delays slight variations depending on sow date (Fig. 3a). Simulations with as one moves eastwards results from several factors, including CERES-Wheat and APSIM indicate significantly less shortening later sowing and harvesting of rice and slow drainage of fields in of the season, particularly for later sowing dates. For example, low-lying areas22,23 . Estimates of GSL indicated that later-sown areas with 2 ◦ C warming and a sow date of 25 November, the MODIS tended to have shorter growing cycles, resulting in a much narrower regression shortens the season by roughly nine days compared with range of harvest dates than sowing dates. This is expected on the six for CERES and only three for APSIM. For the sow date of basis of previous work showing that wheat develops more quickly 10 December, the APSIM season actually becomes longer for a 2 ◦ C in the warmer temperatures experienced for later sowing, and that warming, which is surprising given that the model contains specific day length and vernalization sensitivities cause most cultivars grown equations to accelerate senescence for extreme heat. This unusual in the region to develop more slowly when sown earlier24 . behaviour is driven by the thermal-time calculations in APSIM, The effects of temperature were assessed by a regression of GSL which like the original version (but unlike the present version) on measures of cumulative exposure to normal-growing-degree of CERES-Wheat has a triangular response of thermal time to days (GDD; between 0 and 30 ◦ C) and extreme-growing-degree temperature, with a peak value at 26 ◦ C. Temperatures above 26 ◦ C days (EDD; above 34 ◦ C). To control for the fact that day length at any point in the season cause a slowing of overall development in influences development rates, separate regressions were carried APSIM, and in warming scenarios a significant portion of the season out for early, middle and late sowing dates. A simple plot of the is above this value. Similar artefacts have recently been observed for average GSL for high and low values of EDD at each value of simulations of rice development at high temperatures that are above GDD illustrates that GSL is shortened by both high GDD and EDD those for which the crop models are calibrated25 . This erroneous (Fig. 2a). Regressions for each of the three common dates resulted slowing of development is probably one reason why CERES-Wheat in a statistically significant effect of both GDD and EDD on GSL, now maintains thermal-time accumulation at maximum rates for with higher values of each leading to shorter seasons (Fig. 2b). temperatures up to 50 ◦ C. The coefficients were larger in absolute value for EDD than GDD, The underestimations of season shortening imply that both indicating that a further degree of warming has a stronger effect on CERES and APSIM are underestimating potential yield losses GSL as temperatures exceed 34 ◦ C. All coefficients were statistically for warming in this region, given that reduced season length significant even after accounting for spatial correlation (p < 0.05), is a key mechanism of yield loss under warming.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
DOI: 10.1038/NCLIMATE1356 Supplementary Information for “Extreme heat effects on wheat senescence in India” by Lobell, Sibley, and Ortiz-Monasterio Satellite Data Processing Methods: We obtained two time series of vegetation index (VI) products spanning the study area for 2000- 2009. The first was obtained by combining the MOD13A2 (Terra) and MYD13A2 (Aqua) MODIS products (available at https://lpdaac.usgs.gov). Each gives the maximum value of the enhanced VI (EVI) over a 16 day composite window, with an eight day offset between the two products, yielding EVI estimates at eight day intervals. A contemporaneous time series of 10 day composite normalized difference VI (NDVI) data from the SPOT VEGETATION sensor (available at http://free.vgt.vito.be) was used as a secondary source, to ensure that results were robust to the choice of instrument record. Both products cover the entire study area at a spatial resolution of 1km. For both VI time series we fit double logistic functions to each time series on a pixel-by-pixel basis using the Timesat software 1. The double logistic curve has been used extensively to model vegetation phenology as its shape closely resembles the VI signature of plants during a growing season 2. From our fitted functions we define green-up in each year as the point when the fitted curve reaches 10% of its maximum amplitude for that year; senescence was defined as the equivalent point on the declining portion of the function. Green season length (GSL) was computed each year as the number of days between green-up and senescence. References: 1 Jönsson, P. & Eklundh, L.
