Climate–crop yield relationships at provincial scales in China and the impacts of recent climate trends
Open accessAbstract
Understanding climate-yield relationships and the impacts of recent climate trends on crop productivity on a large scale is an important step in predicting regional agricultural production.In this study we investigated climate-crop relationships, recent trends in seasonal climate (maximum and minimum temperatures, diurnal temperature range and precipitation) and their impacts on the yields of major crops (i.e.rice, wheat, maize and soybean) at provincial scales throughout China over the last few decades.We found that major crop yields were significantly related to growing season climate in the main production regions of China, and that growing season temperature had a generally significant warming trend.Due to the trends in growing season climate, total rice production in China was estimated to have increased by 3.2 × 10 5 t decade -1 during the period 1951-2002; total production of wheat, maize and soybean changed by -1.2 × 10 5 , -21.2 × 10 5 and 0.7 × 10 5 t decade -1 , respectively, during 1979-2002.The warming trend increased rice yield in northeast China and soybean in north and northeast China; however, it decreased maize yield in 7 provinces (autonomous region or municipality) and wheat yield in 3 provinces.Our analysis presents the general response patterns of regional agricultural productivity to seasonal climate variability and change over the last few decades.Crop response mechanisms to local seasonal climate change (and variability) need further investigation to better understand the patterns and predict future consequences of climate change and variability on regional agricultural production.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
