Global Irrigation Grain Yield Improvement Potential Under Future Climate Scenarios

Processed datasets supporting a global assessment of irrigation requirement, irrigation development suitability, and irrigation-related grain yield improvement potential under future climate scenarios. The dataset was authored by Boning Sun and last updated on May 8, 2026. It is available as a 1.8 GB ZIP file under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Model irrigation water requirements for major grain crops based on processed climate scenario data.
• Evaluate the suitability of land for irrigation development based on processed global assessment data.
• Project grain yield improvement potential from irrigation expansion under future climate scenarios.
• Assess future food supply gaps by integrating irrigation-related yield potential data.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 1.8 GB, indicating substantial processed data.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse and modification.
• Last updated date is May 8, 2026, suggesting recent processing.

Limitations
