The possible changes in water availability (aridity) to grain crops and their yields in the Crimean steppe in the 21st century are analyzed using the earlier developed MULCH model (simulating the heat and water exchange in the soil–mulch cover–vegetation–near-surface atmosphere system) and the projected changes in meteorological characteristics simulated by the atmosphere–ocean general circulation models for the RCP climate change scenarios. It is shown that the annual dynamics of the climatic v
