What are the long-term effects from flash floods and heat waves on agriculture?

At this stage, climate science is not able to tell us a great deal about how the agriculture sector will be affected by an increasingly variable climate. But despite little  progress, there are still a number of things scientists can do to not only advance the research on climate variability but also to support communities adapt to climate change. This was argued in a newly released review, “Climate variability and vulnerability to climate change”, published in Global Change Biology earlier this year.
