Band 2 - 50th percentile projected percent change in yield for enhanced CO2 response simulations. Band 3 - 88th percentile projected percent change in yield for enhanced CO2 response simulations. Band 4 - 11th percentile projected percent change in yield for unenhanced CO2 response simulations. Band 5 - 50th percentile projected percent change in yield for unenhanced CO2 response simulations.
