Сценарий ядерной зимы через 30 лет: последствия ядерной войны Индии и Пакистана

Crop production would decline in the Midwestern United States from climate change following a regional nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. ...  Both maize and soybeans showed notable yield reductions for a decade after the event. Maize yields declined 10–40 % while soybean yields dropped 2–20 %. Temporal variation in magnitude of yield for both crops generally followed the variation in climatic anomalies, with the greatest decline in the 5 years following the 5 Tg event and then less, but still substantial yield decline, for the rest of the decade.
