► We reviewed 221 papers that used crop models to assess impacts of climate change. ► Crops most frequently assessed were wheat, maize, soybean and rice. ► Models predominantly used radiation use efficiency-based approaches. ► Assumed low baseline [CO 2] may exaggerate projected impacts of increased...
