For wheat and barley, adaptation depends on water availability, with higher sensitivity in dry regions. The wheat lands of the Great Plains see a gradual hollowing-out, while winter wheat moves up from the south along the Mississippi. Soybeans show a gradual movement north, replacing spring wheat and barley. Nature Communications.
