“…Waterlogging (as well as flooding) is an important source of crop losses (de San Celedonio et al ., 2014; Kaur et al ., 2020), however, not all crop species are equally affected. Barley has been identified as a particularly sensitive crop with up to 20-25% crop losses due to waterlogging (Byrne et al ., 2021; de San Celedonio et al ., 2016; de San Celedonio et al ., 2014; Liu et al ., 2020; Miricescu et al ., 2021; Setter and Waters, 2003). Losses have been shown to be more severe if waterlogging occurs at the heading stage (de San Celedonio et al ., 2016; de San Celedonio et al ., 2014; Liu et al ., 2020; Setter and Waters, 2003), but also at early developmental stages (de San Celedonio et al ., 2016; de San Celedonio et al ., 2014).…”
