Professor Zhu Yan's research team, combined with scientists from 47 universities and research institutions in 18 countries,  used a multi-model collection approach to quantitatively assess the potential effects of the increase of temperature on global wheat production. The results of the research were published on the well-known Global Change Biology.

It is understood that this is a new progress made by the research team in the field of climate change effect assessment after the publication of relevant research results by Nature Climate Change (2016), PNAS (2017) and Global Change Biology (2014 & 2016).
