A few case studies suggest that certain crops are likely to benefit from solar dimming geoengineering, yet we show that geoengineering is projected to have detrimental effects for groundnut. Using an ensemble of crop-climate model simulations, we illustrate that groundnut yields in India undergo a statistically significant decrease of up to 20% as a result of solar dimming geoengineering relative to RCP4.5. It is somewhat reassuring, however, to find that after a sustained period of 50 years of geoengineering crop yields return to the nongeoengineered values within a few years once the intervention is ceased. date: 2016-11 date_type: published publisher: American Geophysical Union id_number: 10.1002/2016GL071209 creators_browse_id: 302 full_text_status: public publication: Geophysical Research Letters volume: 43 number: 22 pagerange: 786-795 refereed: TRUE issn: 00948276 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Yang, H., Dobbie, S., Ramirez-Villegas, J., Feng, K., Challinor, A.J., Chen, B., Gao, Y., Lee, L., et al.
