Resumo(s)
Climate change is a challenging fact influencing diverse sectors in society including the
agricultural one, which is heavily dependent on natural resources and climate. In the Mediterranean
region, climate change-related increases in air temperature, and in the frequency and intensity of
extreme weather events, such as droughts, boost the pressure on the agricultural systems and affect
crop yield potential. The growth of the world population implies that production needs to increase in
a sustainable manner. Therefore, this study focuses on the maize crop due to its importance for food
security and because it is a crop with significant water consumption that occupies a large worldwide
area. In order to study climate change impacts on crop production, plant water requirements, and
provide farmers guidelines helping them to adapt, it is necessary to simultaneously evaluate a large
number of factors. For this reason, modelling tools are normally used to measure the future impact
of climate change on crop yield by using historical and future climate data. This review focuses on
climate change impacts on maize crop irrigation requirements and compares—by means of critical
analysis—existing approaches that allow for the building a set of mitigation and adaptation measures
throughout the study of climate
